Staande vrouw 1860 - 1890

"Staande vrouw" is a black and white photograph by Woodbury & Page, depicting a woman from the Dutch East Indies. The woman is standing with her arms at her side and her feet bare, she is dressed in traditional clothing and holding a closed umbrella. The photograph is a striking example of 19th-century portraiture, and its focus on ethnographic subjects reflects the growing interest in non-European cultures during this period. The image, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the woman's dignity and poise, and it serves as a valuable record of cultural practices and dress in the Dutch East Indies during the 19th century.
