Portret van koningin Victoria van het Verenigd Koninkrijk 1866

This is a 19th-century portrait of Queen Victoria, taken in 1866, and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The photograph is a relatively small, intimate image and depicts the Queen in a casual pose, standing in front of a door or window, perhaps on the grounds of a palace or estate. The image captures her in a relaxed, natural setting, giving a glimpse into her private life beyond the regal formality of a traditional portrait. This is a significant example of early photography and its ability to capture the essence of a historical figure.
