Dubbelportret van een onbekend paar c. 1895 - 1910

"Dubbelportret van een onbekend paar" is a portrait photograph by Idanus Hendrikus Slaterus, dating from around 1895 to 1910. The photograph features a young couple, likely a husband and wife, posed formally against a dark background. The woman is dressed in a lace blouse, while the man sports a suit and tie. The work is a good example of late 19th-century portraiture, with a focus on capturing the subject's likeness and a sense of realism. Slaterus, born in 1846 and known for his portraiture, captured the couple's intimate connection through their subtle gazes and their close proximity. The photograph is also notable for its detailed and high-quality printing. Slaterus was a prominent photographer in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, which is evident in the caption present on the artwork.
