Portret van een onbekende vrouw c. 1890 - 1910

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a black and white photographic portrait of an unknown woman, created by Dutch photographer Wilhelmus Johannes van Pampus around the turn of the 20th century. The image, measuring 88mm by 57mm, depicts the woman in a formal pose, likely taken for a family album or commemorative purpose. The woman is dressed in a light-colored blouse with a lace collar and a pearl necklace, suggesting she was from a middle-class family. This work exemplifies the style of early portrait photography, characterized by its simple composition and focus on capturing a likeness.
