Portret van onbekende vrouw 1830 - 1904

This portrait of an unknown woman, dating from 1830-1904, is a work by Dutch artist Jan Cornelis van Rossum. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, portrays a woman in a seated position, dressed in a simple black gown with white lace trimming her collar and cap. The delicate detail of her hands clasped in her lap and her serious expression suggest a focus on realism, typical of the 19th century. Van Rossum, known for his portraits and landscapes, captured the subtle nuances of his subjects, rendering this unknown woman in a lifelike and engaging manner.
