Portret van een vrouw c. 1846

This early photographic portrait of a woman, dated c. 1846, was created by Dutch artist Eduard Isaac Asser. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a seated woman with her hands folded in her lap. The image's muted tones and soft focus are typical of early photography, showcasing the emerging technology of the time. The woman's clothing, likely reflecting the fashion of the period, adds further historical context to the artwork.
