Portret van Wilhelmina, koningin der Nederlanden 1898

This photograph, taken by Richard Kameke in 1898, depicts Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands. The portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the queen in a formal setting, standing before a plush curtain and holding a fan. Her elaborate dress and regal crown are indicative of her status, creating a sense of grandeur. Kameke, a court photographer, was known for his portraits of prominent figures, and this image reflects his skill in capturing both the subject's likeness and the atmosphere of formality.
