Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1902 - 1906

This portrait photograph of an unknown young woman was taken by Dutch photographer Stephanus Adrianus Schotel between 1902 and 1906. Schotel, born in 1871 and active in Arnhem, is known for his detailed and atmospheric portraiture. The subject, dressed in a light-colored blouse with a high collar, gazes directly at the viewer with a serene expression. This classic, intimate portrait exemplifies the popular style of portrait photography during the early 20th century. The image is small in scale, measuring just 104 mm by 65 mm, which was common for cabinet cards, a popular format at the time.
