Wilhelmina 1923

"Wilhelmina," a 1923 photograph by Herman Deutmann (1870-1926), depicts Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the Queen in a formal pose, adorned with regalia. The photograph, likely a royal portrait intended for official use, exemplifies Deutmann's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, demonstrating his ability to create a dignified and powerful image of a royal figure. This portrait provides a glimpse into the life of Queen Wilhelmina during her reign, and into the formal style of Dutch photography in the early 20th century.
