Portret van een onbekende vrouw before 1899

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman) is a photographic portrait by Robert Demachy from before 1899. The work is a classic example of Pictorialism, a photographic movement that emerged in the late 19th century. Demachy, known for his soft focus and painterly style, captures the essence of his subject with a delicate touch. This intimate portrait is a testament to Demachy's mastery of the photographic medium and his ability to evoke emotion through light and shadow. The work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
