Geschilderd ovaal portret van een vrouw met opgestoken haar c. 1863 - 1870

This oval portrait of a woman with her hair up, painted by Carl Rensing, is a typical example of 19th-century portraiture. The image is set against a plain background, allowing the viewer to focus on the subject. The woman’s somber expression and her simple attire create a sense of intimacy and realism, which were highly valued during the time of the work's creation. This portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the skillful work of Carl Rensing, a Dutch photographer active in the mid-19th century.
