Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1880 - 1896

This portrait photograph, created by Albert Dekema between 1880 and 1896, depicts an unknown young woman. The image, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of 19th-century portraiture, capturing the subject in a formal pose with a focus on her face and clothing. Dekema, a renowned photographer from Enkhuizen, used the then-popular medium of albumen print, resulting in a high-contrast image with subtle detail. Despite its small size, the portrait conveys a sense of intimacy and allows viewers to connect with the unnamed subject.
