Portret van een vrouw 1890 - 1920

"Portret van een vrouw" is a photographic portrait of a woman created between 1890 and 1920 by H.C. de Graaff. De Graaff, a Dutch photographer born in 1853, captured the woman’s likeness with a classic studio portrait style, common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The woman is posed formally, her expression reserved, and she is dressed in the fashionable attire of the period. This small portrait, measuring only 83 mm in height and 52 mm in width, highlights de Graaff's skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and detail. This piece serves as a snapshot of the era and a glimpse into the artistry of early photographic portraiture.
