Portret van een vrouw c. 1858 - 1866

"Portret van een vrouw" (c. 1858-1866) is a small-format portrait photograph by the studio of Polman & Hohmann. This studio portrait depicts a seated woman in a simple dress, her hands resting in her lap. The photograph is framed by a dark border with a gold accent, typical of early photography, adding to the formal and intimate nature of the image. The slightly blurry focus and overall faded tonality contribute to the melancholy mood of the piece, highlighting the somber elegance of the Victorian era.
