Portret van een oudere vrouw before 1870

This portrait of an older woman, created before 1870, is a daguerreotype by Dutch photographer A. Böeseken (1834-1919), known for his portrait work. The image depicts a woman seated, wearing a dark dress and a cap, her gaze directed slightly towards the viewer. The use of a simple background emphasizes the subject. This studio portrait captures the individuality of its subject in a typical Victorian style. Böeseken, based in Rotterdam, created this work with great detail and clarity, capturing the delicate features of the woman's face and the texture of her clothing.
