Portret van een man, een vrouw en twee kinderen c. 1880 - 1890

"Portret van een man, een vrouw en twee kinderen," is a photograph by Dutch photographer Bernardus Bruining, dated circa 1880-1890. It depicts a family portrait, featuring a man, a woman, and two children. The image is composed in a traditional, formal manner, with the family members arranged in a straightforward, almost symmetrical composition. This photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of a family in the late 19th century. The photograph’s faded tones and subdued lighting contribute to a sense of intimacy and domesticity.
