Fotoreproductie van een geschilderd portret van een vrouw, aangeduid als oma Ghesquiere 1850 - 1892

This is a photo reproduction of a portrait painting of a woman, identified as "oma Ghesquiere," created by Charles D'Hoy sometime between 1850 and 1892. D'Hoy was a Belgian artist born in 1823 and died in 1895. The photograph is a small, intimate portrait, measuring just 85mm by 51mm, and shows "oma Ghesquiere" in a close-up, with her head and shoulders filling the frame. She wears a white lace cap and dress, and a black necklace. The photograph is a testament to the growing popularity of portraiture in the 19th century, and the way photography was used to create a lasting record of individuals and families.
