Groepsportret van dochters, zoon en vrienden van de fotograaf c. 1853

Eduard Isaac Asser, a Dutch photographer known for his portraits, captured this intimate family scene in "Groepsportret van dochters, zoon en vrienden van de fotograaf" (c. 1853). The photograph showcases a group of children, likely Asser's daughters and son, along with friends, arranged against a simple backdrop. Their attire and the presence of a toy carriage hint at the Victorian era's penchant for capturing childhood innocence. The image is a testament to Asser's skill in capturing the essence of family and the fleeting moments of childhood. This photograph is housed at the Rijksmuseum and is a prime example of early photographic portraiture.
