Portret van een kind 1860 - 1900

"Portret van een kind" is a portrait of a young child taken by Alphonse Joseph Bousseton between 1860 and 1900. The child is seated and looking directly at the camera, creating an intimate connection with the viewer. The image is framed by a double-layered oval, adding to the formal portrait style popular in the 19th century. This small, 83 mm by 51 mm, photograph is a beautiful example of early portraiture and captures the innocence and vulnerability of childhood.
