Portret van een jongetje in witte kleding met een hoed 1899

This stereoscopic photograph, titled "Portret van een jongetje in witte kleding met een hoed", was captured by Dutch artist Geldolph Adriaan Kessler in 1899. The image depicts a young boy, dressed in white, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The boy is posed in a relaxed manner, holding a long, thin object in his hands. Kessler's keen eye for detail is evident in the subtle lighting and the intimate portraiture of the child. The composition, capturing the essence of childhood innocence, is typical of the artist's style. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the daily life of a young boy at the turn of the 20th century.
