Portret van vijf onbekende vrouwen c. 1894 - 1907

"Portret van vijf onbekende vrouwen" (Portrait of Five Unknown Women) is a cabinet card photograph by Dutch photographer Eduard Donkersloot. The image captures a group of five women, likely sisters, standing shoulder-to-shoulder against a plain background. The women are formally dressed in late 19th-century attire, with some showcasing a more elaborate style like the woman in the center who wears a ruffled collar. The portrait provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of women during this period. Donkersloot, known for his work capturing life in the Netherlands, created a simple, yet compelling photograph that invites the viewer to ponder the identities and relationships of these nameless subjects.
