Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1865 - 1896

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a portrait photograph of an unknown woman, captured by Dutch photographer Albert Dekema between 1865 and 1896. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the woman in a seated pose, her hands resting in her lap, as she gazes directly at the camera. Her clothing, particularly the lace collar and delicate embroidery, reflects the fashion trends of the 19th century. This image is a poignant reminder of Dekema's mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects in the era of early photography, offering a glimpse into the life of an ordinary woman from the past.
