"Twee portretten en een dubbelportret van Congolese vrouwen" (Two portraits and a double portrait of Congolese women) is a photograph by Hippolyte Wouwermans, taken before 1894. The work depicts three Congolese women, with two bust-length portraits and a full-length double portrait in the center, highlighting their traditional dress and hairstyles. The photograph, measuring 290 x 390 mm, likely originates from the Exposition Universelle d'Anvers (World's Fair) in 1894, showcasing the diversity of cultures and the emerging field of photojournalism during the colonial period.
