Studioportret van Adeh van Braam 1880 - 1920

This studio portrait, captured between 1880 and 1920 by Dutch photographer Bernardus Bruining, shows Adeh van Braam, likely a young girl, in a formal pose. The image, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of 19th-century portraiture. The subject's attire and the simple background, common in studio photographs of the era, suggest a sense of formality and social status. This type of portrait, with its focus on capturing a likeness and conveying a specific image, was a popular method of documenting individuals in the late 19th century. The faded tones and subtle details of the photograph create a sense of timelessness and offer a glimpse into the past.
