Portret van een staande vrouw bij een stoel 1869 - 1900

This 19th-century carte de visite by Friedrich Julius von Kolkow, a German photographer, is a portrait of a woman. The image is a small format, measuring only 81 mm by 52 mm. This type of photograph, popular in the mid-19th century, captured the likeness of individuals and was often exchanged as a form of social communication. The woman in the portrait stands against a neutral backdrop and holds a decorative object, likely a bouquet or a fan. The image's composition and style are typical of portrait photography from this era, with an emphasis on capturing a clear and dignified representation of the subject. The portrait is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
