Portret van een jonge vrouw, aangeduid als tante Ria 1880 - 1900

This portrait photograph, titled "Portret van een jonge vrouw, aangeduid als tante Ria," was taken by Adolphe Zimmermans, a Belgian photographer active from 1880 to 1900. The photograph features a young woman, likely a relative of the photographer, sitting in a chair and looking directly at the camera. She is dressed in a dark, richly textured gown, adorned with a prominent pearl necklace. The image is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is an example of the formal portraiture popular in the late 19th century. Zimmermans' attention to detail and the subject's composed posture create a timeless and elegant portrait.
