Portret van drie onbekende kinderen, aangeduid als Hika, Bepie en broer, geboren te Amsterdam 1903 - 1908

This black and white photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Jan Anthonie Eelsingh between 1903 and 1908, portrays three children identified as Hika, Bepie, and their brother. The children, dressed in simple white garments, are seated on a furry rug against a backdrop of blurred foliage. The image, a typical example of portraiture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, captures the innocence and charm of childhood. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary Dutch children, highlighting the photographic art's ability to preserve memories and document daily life. The portrait, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable addition to the museum's collection, offering a unique perspective on Dutch society during this period.
