Portret van een vrouw 1875 - 1896

"Portret van een vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Paul Joseph Nicolas Nestor Schaffers, taken sometime between 1875 and 1896. The photograph shows a woman in a dark dress and a lace collar, looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. Schaffers was known for his portraits, which often captured the personalities and emotions of his subjects. The photograph's small size, measuring just 134 mm by 96 mm, suggests it was a personal or family portrait rather than a large commissioned work. This intimate portrait exemplifies Schaffers' mastery of capturing the essence of his sitters through his art.
