Portret van een vrouw c. 1865

This portrait photograph, created by Johannes Baer around 1865, depicts a young woman in a simple, light-colored dress. The woman's hair is styled in a fashionable manner with a ribbon and flower adornment, and she looks directly at the viewer with a calm expression. The image is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and is a testament to the photographic artistry of Baer, who was known for his portraits and landscapes. The image is an excellent example of 19th-century portrait photography, a popular genre that captured the likeness of individuals in their everyday attire.
