Portret van een vrouw 1884 - 1913

This portrait photograph, "Portret van een vrouw," was created between 1884 and 1913 by Adolphe Zimmermans. It captures a woman in a formal setting, dressed in a high-collared blouse with a decorative pattern, her hair styled in a fashionable updo of the late 19th century. The photograph is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum. The intimate portrait style of the piece, which was likely commissioned by the sitter, makes the artwork an example of the early development of photography as a medium for capturing likeness and personal identity.
