Portret van een jongen met speelgoed boot 1882 - 1914

"Portret van een jongen met speelgoed boot" (Portrait of a Boy with a Toy Boat) is a photograph taken by Dutch photographer Hendrik Jonker between 1882 and 1914, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The image depicts a young boy dressed in a sailor suit, holding a toy sailboat. The boy's serious expression, the presence of a pail and shovel in the foreground, and the distant glimpse of a boat on the water suggest a connection to the sea and playtime. This piece is an example of Jonker's photographic work, which often captured everyday life and childhood moments.
