Portret van een onbekende vrouw bij een stoel 1868 - 1900

Hermanus Jodocus Weesing, a Dutch photographer active in Amsterdam, captured this portrait of an unknown woman between 1868 and 1900. The woman, dressed in a long, full skirt and a modest blouse, stands with her arms crossed, leaning against a tufted armchair. The small size of the photograph, measuring only 100mm x 62mm, suggests it was likely intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento or a gift. The image embodies the formal portraiture style popular in the 19th century, showcasing the subject's attire and composure in a refined and timeless setting.
