Portret van een vrouw 1862 - 1899

"Portret van een vrouw" (Portrait of a Woman) is a photographic portrait by Willem Gerhardus Kuijer, dating between 1862 and 1899. The photograph captures a woman in a simple, dark dress, her gaze directed slightly to the left. The image is framed within an oval, a common format for portraits of the time, and is displayed in the Rijksmuseum. Kuijer was a Dutch photographer, and this work reflects the typical portrait style of the late 19th century, focusing on capturing the sitter’s likeness and personality. The small size of the photograph may suggest it was intended as a personal memento.
