Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1892 - 1911

This portrait of an unknown woman, taken by Dutch photographer Franz Eiffert, dates between 1892 and 1911. The image, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a classic example of portrait photography from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The subject is positioned in profile, her hair styled in a bun and her gaze directed away from the viewer, suggesting an introspective air. Eiffert’s signature, along with his address, appears at the bottom of the image, showcasing the artist’s professional identity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the social customs and fashion trends of the period.
