Portret van een onbekende vrouw met hoed in een tuin c. 1865 - 1900

This is a photographic portrait of an unknown woman by Dutch photographer Laurens Lodewijk Kleijn, taken sometime between 1865 and 1900. The woman is shown standing in a garden, wearing a long dress and a hat, her face is partially obscured by the hat. The photograph is a negative, which makes the image appear reversed and in shades of grey, a common technique during the 19th century. The composition is simple and straightforward, with the woman positioned in the center of the frame. The photograph is a valuable record of both Kleijn's work and of the fashion and portraiture styles of the late 19th century.
