Portret van Charlotte Asser c. 1845

"Portret van Charlotte Asser," is a daguerreotype portrait of Charlotte Asser, captured by her father, Eduard Isaac Asser, circa 1845. This intimate portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures Charlotte's youthful appearance, dressed in a striped dress, with her hands clasped in her lap. The image is framed by a simple arched window, adding a touch of formality to the otherwise informal composition. This photograph is a valuable example of early photographic portraiture and a testament to the development of the daguerreotype as a medium for capturing personal likeness.
