Portret van een vrouw 1873 - 1908

"Portret van een vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Dutch artist Carl Wilhelm Bauer, dating back to 1873-1908. The photograph, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a woman in a simple, yet elegant, dress. The subject's serious expression and the photograph's subdued tonality evoke the restrained formality of 19th-century portraiture, a genre that sought to document individuals and their social standing. This small, intimate photograph, measuring 83mm in height and 52mm in width, is a testament to Bauer's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.
