Portret van een jonge vrouw 1870 - 1880

"Portret van een jonge vrouw" (Portrait of a Young Woman), a carte de visite photograph by Charles Reutlinger, captures the likeness of an unidentified young woman, likely taken in the 1870s. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Reutlinger’s skill in capturing detail and nuance, evident in the woman’s gentle expression and the delicate jewelry she wears. The image, though small in scale, is a powerful reminder of the impact portrait photography had in the 19th century.
