Portret van een baby 1880 - 1920

"Portret van een baby" (Portrait of a Baby) is a black and white photograph by Jas Dickinson, likely taken between 1880 and 1920. The photo depicts a young child dressed in a frilly white dress, sitting on a fur rug against a backdrop of blurred foliage. The photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popular photographic genre of portraiture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The intimate composition and soft focus lend a sentimental and nostalgic quality to the image, typical of baby portraits of the era.
