Portret van een onbekende lezende vrouw before 1901

"Portret van een onbekende lezende vrouw" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman Reading), is a photograph by Eduard Arning, created before 1901. The image depicts a woman seated at a table in a well-lit room, her head bent over a book, suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation. The composition highlights the solitary figure and the tranquil atmosphere of the setting, with the woman's posture and the soft natural light creating a sense of intimacy. This photograph is a prime example of Arning's focus on capturing ordinary moments with a subtle and poetic touch.
