Portret van grootmoeder met kind 1860 - 1880

"Portret van grootmoeder met kind" is a black and white photograph by Dutch artist Roelof Loots, created sometime between 1860 and 1880. The image depicts a seated woman holding a young child, likely a grandchild. The portrait's intimate composition and subdued tone are characteristic of portrait photography during this period, emphasizing familial bonds and domesticity. Loots was a prolific photographer known for capturing everyday life in the Netherlands, and this work provides a glimpse into the family dynamics of the time. The photograph is notable for its small size, measuring just 82 mm in height and 50 mm in width, suggesting it might have been part of a personal album or collection.
