Portret van een onbekende vrouw bij Breitner thuis c. 1890 - 1910

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw bij Breitner thuis" is a black and white photograph by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, taken sometime between 1890 and 1910. The photograph, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman, possibly Breitner’s wife, seated in a chair in his home. Her identity remains unknown, but the intimate setting suggests a personal connection. Breitner's use of natural light, particularly the window light that bathes the woman in a soft glow, adds depth and atmosphere to the composition. The image captures a fleeting moment in time, frozen in the artist’s viewfinder and preserved for generations to come.
