Portret van Maria Engelina Jonker 1878 - 1915

"Portret van Maria Engelina Jonker" is a portrait photograph of a young woman, taken by Dutch photographer Johannes Leonardus van der Heijden sometime between 1878 and 1915. The subject is posed in a studio setting, wearing a dark, buttoned dress with a high collar, a classic style for the period. Her gaze is directed slightly to the left, with a thoughtful expression. The photograph is framed within an oval, enhancing the formality and elegance of the portrait. The small dimensions of the image, measuring only 105 mm x 65 mm, suggest that this was likely a carte-de-visite, a popular format for photographic portraits in the 19th century.
