Portret van Caroline Claudine Frénet, Marie Frénet-Frapa en Marie Blandine Frénet c. 1852 - 1865

"Portret van Caroline Claudine Frénet, Marie Frénet-Frapa en Marie Blandine Frénet" is a daguerreotype portrait of three women by Jean-Baptiste Frénet, a French photographer, dating from c. 1852-1865. The women, likely members of the Frénet family, are positioned in a formal arrangement, with the central figure, wearing a plaid dress, standing out. The image is a testament to the early development of photography in capturing likenesses and documenting family history. The daguerreotype's distinct detail and intimate scale underscore its intimate nature. This work, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artistic potential of early photographic techniques.
