Portret van Anna-Gratia Asser c. 1854

"Portret van Anna-Gratia Asser" is a daguerreotype portrait of a young woman, created by Eduard Isaac Asser around 1854. The image captures Anna-Gratia in a contemplative pose, her head resting on her hand, as she gazes down at a book in her lap. This intimate portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Asser's mastery of the daguerreotype technique, highlighting the delicate details of Anna-Gratia's dress and the intricate patterns of her hair. This work is an excellent example of portraiture in the mid-19th century and provides insight into the artistic and societal trends of the time.
