Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1887 - 1914

This portrait photograph, "Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw," was captured by Dutch photographer Wilhelm Frederick Antonius Delboy between 1887 and 1914. Delboy, known for his studio in The Hague, captures the unnamed young woman in a simple yet elegant pose, her expression both reserved and engaging. The composition, with its focus on the subject against a neutral background, emphasizes the sitter's grace and poise. The use of natural light and the soft detail of the print create a sense of intimacy, making the viewer feel like they are privy to a personal moment. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of the young women of late 19th-century Netherlands, reminding us of the power of photography to document and preserve individual beauty.
