Drie portretten van vrouwen, onder wie Marcelle André en Jane Hading 1900 - 1930

This albumen print photograph, "Drie portretten van vrouwen, onder wie Marcelle André en Jane Hading," captures the likeness of three women, including actresses Marcelle André and Jane Hading. The portraits, dating from 1900 to 1930, were likely created by the renowned French photographer Ch. Reutlinger. The work is a prime example of the popular genre of celebrity portraiture prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The three distinct images offer a glimpse into the elegance and style of the Belle Époque era. The albumen print process, known for its high-contrast, sharp detail, lends itself well to the dramatic lighting and posing characteristic of the period. The small size of the photograph, at 196mm by 368mm, suggests it might be a carte-de-visite or cabinet card, popular formats of the time.
