Portret van een zittend meisje 1873 - 1883

This photograph, titled "Portret van een zittend meisje" (Portrait of a Sitting Girl), was created by Huijsen & Zoon between 1873 and 1883. The small, intimate portrait, measuring just 85mm by 52mm, captures a young woman in a formal pose, seated in a chair. The girl's attire and the style of the photograph suggest a 19th-century portrait capturing a moment in time for posterity. The sepia tone and the composition, with the sitter centered and gazing directly at the viewer, are characteristic of portrait photography from the period. This photograph is a fine example of a 19th-century portrait, illustrating the artistry and technical advancements of early photography.
