Portret van Johanna Stam, de echtgenote van de schilder Herman van der Weele 1880 - 1900

This portrait of Johanna Stam, wife of painter Herman van der Weele, is an anonymous work from the late 19th century. The image captures Johanna in a three-quarter view, her gaze directed slightly to the side. She is dressed in a dark, finely patterned garment, perhaps a gown or a dress, with a lace trim at the wrist. The subject is depicted with a sense of quiet dignity, a common characteristic of portraiture during this period. This sepia-toned photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of individuals during a time of significant social change and artistic development. The work is a testament to the skill of the anonymous artist and showcases the enduring nature of portraiture in capturing the essence of a person.
