Portret van mevrouw De Lange c. 1851 - 1883

This black and white lithograph, *Portret van mevrouw De Lange*, depicts a woman in a seated pose, captured by Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Hoffmeister. The woman, who is likely named Mrs. De Lange, is dressed in a patterned gown and sits in an armchair. Her pose is relaxed, and she looks directly at the viewer, creating an intimate connection between the subject and the observer. This artwork exemplifies the style of portraiture popular in the 19th century, where realism and attention to detail were highly valued.
