Portret van een onbekende vrouw met twee kinderen before 1903

This photogravure, "Portret van een onbekende vrouw met twee kinderen," (Portrait of an Unknown Woman with Two Children) was created before 1903 by American photographer Gertrude Kasebier, known for her pictorialist style. The intimate and sentimental image portrays a woman holding an infant while a young girl wraps her arms around the woman's neck. The composition highlights the tender bond between the mother and children, emphasizing the soft lines of the figures and their delicate features. Kasebier's use of soft focus and natural lighting adds to the overall sense of warmth and intimacy. This work exemplifies Kasebier's mastery of the photogravure technique, which allows for rich tonal detail and nuanced expression.
