Vier portretten van vrouwen met een psychische aandoening before 1876

This anonymous work, dated before 1876, consists of four photographic portraits of women with mental illnesses. Each portrait is a close-up of the subject's face and upper body. The women are shown in a neutral pose, but their expressions are varied, conveying a range of emotions and states of mind. The work is a powerful reminder of the complex realities of mental illness and the challenges faced by those who suffer from it. The piece is an example of early photographic documentation of mental illness and is held in the Rijksmuseum.
