Portret van vermoedelijk Bodina Buma 1850 - 1865

"Portret van vermoedelijk Bodina Buma," is a daguerreotype portrait of a woman, possibly named Bodina Buma, created by Dutch photographer Dirk van Lokhorst between 1850 and 1865. This portrait is an example of the early photographic portraiture, where the sitter is captured in a formal pose. The sitter is seen seated in a simple pose, wearing a dark dress and white cuffs. The image is framed in a rounded border, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The daguerreotype's small size and the sitter's solemn expression are common features of early portraiture, capturing a sense of time and the individual.
