Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1885 - 1919

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Dutch photographer Salomon Goudsmid, created between 1885 and 1919. The image depicts an unknown woman, likely a private citizen, captured in a formal pose, typical of portraiture during the late 19th century. The woman’s dress and the oval frame are characteristic of the period, and the image offers a glimpse into the lives of everyday people during this time. The photograph’s small size, measuring just 103 mm high and 62 mm wide, suggests that it was likely intended for personal use. Goudsmid, who passed away in 1919, was a prominent photographer known for his work capturing ordinary life, with his subjects often including families and individuals.
