Portret van een vrouw c. 1854 - 1855

"Portret van een vrouw" (Portrait of a Woman), created by Dutch photographer Eduard Isaac Asser, is a portrait of a woman in a seated pose. The woman is dressed in a dark dress with a lace collar and has her hands clasped in her lap. This photograph exemplifies Asser's photographic style. The image is a classic example of a mid-19th-century portrait photograph and is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. It is a great example of early photographic techniques and provides a glimpse into the social norms of the mid-19th century.
