Portret van een onbekende vrouw en een kind before 1901

This is a photographic portrait of a mother and child. The image is a black and white photograph that depicts the two subjects in a tender embrace, the child leaning her head against her mother's shoulder. The work was created by Virginia M. Prall, but little information is known about her life or career. Despite being an intimate and seemingly simple composition, the photograph highlights the powerful bond of motherhood. It's a small-scale piece, measuring only 174mm by 125mm, but its intimate subject matter makes it a compelling example of photographic portraiture from the early 20th century.
