Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1892 - 1906

This portrait of an unknown woman was created by Dutch photographer Machiel Hendricus Laddé between 1892 and 1906. The photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Laddé's mastery of the photographic medium. The subject's composed posture and the delicate lace of her attire create a sense of elegance, a hallmark of Laddé's portraiture. The image's soft focus and subdued lighting further contribute to the overall air of mystery surrounding the sitter's identity. The small size of the photograph, measuring 108 mm by 66 mm, suggests it was likely intended as a personal memento.
