Portret van een vrouw 1886 - 1887

"Portret van een vrouw," created by the Dutch photography duo Koene & Büttinghausen between 1886 and 1887, is a black and white portrait photograph capturing a woman in a striped blouse. The subject appears to be posed formally, looking directly at the camera, reflecting the popular portraiture style of the late 19th century. The photograph, measuring just 85 mm high and 51 mm wide, demonstrates the intimate and often personal nature of portrait photography during this era. This small-scale portrait captures the essence of the subject's identity in a simple yet evocative manner.
