Portret van een zittende vrouw met een witte muts 1870 - 1899

"Portret van een zittende vrouw met een witte muts" is a portrait photograph by Dutch photographer Hermanus Arnoldus Mens, dating from 1870-1899. The photograph depicts a woman seated in a chair, wearing a white cap and a patterned dress. Her expression is serious, and her hands are resting on a small table. The photograph's small size and delicate details are characteristic of 19th-century portrait photography, a genre that captured the likenesses of individuals in a formal and dignified manner. This work showcases Mens' talent for capturing the essence of his subjects. The image is reminiscent of a typical "carte de visite," a popular format for photographs in the mid-19th century.
