Portret van een vrouw 1882 - 1914

"Portret van een vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Dutch photographer Hendrik Jonker. Created between 1882 and 1914, the image depicts an unnamed woman, posed formally against a light background. Her clothing and hairstyle suggest she is from a well-to-do family, perhaps a member of the Dutch upper class. The photograph is a prime example of early portraiture, showcasing the evolving technology and growing popularity of photography. It now resides in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Jonker's contribution to Dutch photography.
