Groepsportret van Wilhelmina Gerarda Hoogendijk met (vermoedelijk) vier familieleden op een bank in (vermoedelijk) een park c. 1900 - 1905

This anonymous photograph, taken sometime between 1900 and 1905, captures a group portrait of Wilhelmina Gerarda Hoogendijk and four presumed family members. The group is seated on a bench in what appears to be a park, possibly a formal garden, as suggested by the lush foliage in the background. The image is notable for its candid nature, with the figures seeming to interact naturally, perhaps in the middle of a conversation. The composition is well-balanced, creating a sense of intimacy and revealing the subjects' social connections. This photograph exemplifies the burgeoning popularity of portrait photography during the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the lives and social interactions of a family during that era.
