Portret van een jonge vrouw 1882 - 1914

"Portret van een jonge vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Dutch artist Hendrik Jonker, created between 1882 and 1914. The photograph shows a young woman, likely in her late teens or early twenties, seated in a chair with her hands clasped together in her lap. The image is framed in an oval shape, with a simple, dark background. The photograph captures the woman's soft features, her gaze directed away from the camera, and her dark hair styled in a way typical of the late 19th century. Jonker, who was a prominent photographer in his time, produced numerous portrait photographs, often showcasing everyday Dutch people and families. This photograph, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, is a poignant example of his work, showcasing the everyday beauty of a young woman in the Netherlands.
