This small, yet detailed portrait by Carol Popp de Szathmari, a prominent Romanian artist, captures a young child dressed in traditional Romanian attire. Dating back to 1870-1890, the photograph showcases a child sitting on a balustrade, holding a hat, and looking directly at the viewer. This poignant image highlights the beauty and significance of Romanian folk costume. The work is a testament to Szathmari's artistry and his interest in capturing the cultural identity of his people. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work is a small-scale example of 19th-century portraiture and Romanian cultural documentation.
