Portret van een kind 1860 - 1890

"Portret van een kind" is a small-scale portrait photograph, likely a carte de visite, created by O.C. Smith sometime between 1860 and 1890. The image depicts a young child, likely a girl, posed in a formal setting. The photograph is framed within a decorative border on a page of a leather-bound album. This type of portrait, popular during the Victorian era, served as a way for families to document their children's growth and development. The photograph's small size and the fact that it is found in an album suggest that it was likely intended for personal use.
