Portret van een onbekende vrouw met hoed Possibly 1912 - 1919

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw met hoed" is a small, black-and-white photograph created by Electrische Snelfotografie, a Dutch company specializing in fast photography. The image depicts an unidentified woman in a hat, likely taken between 1912 and 1919. The woman is posed in a studio setting, her expression neutral, which was common for portraiture during this period. The photograph's small size, measuring just 43 mm by 31 mm, suggests it may have been a snapshot or a passport photo. The use of a dark background and the woman's simple attire further contribute to the snapshot-like aesthetic, hinting at the burgeoning accessibility of photography in the early 20th century.
