Volwassen vrouw in boudoir before 1898

This black and white photograph, titled "In the Boudoir," was taken by Laporta & Co. before 1898. It depicts a woman in a boudoir setting, possibly getting ready for a night out, and is a prime example of the genre of Pictorialism, a style of photography that sought to elevate the art form. The woman's pose and the soft lighting create a sense of intimacy and beauty, while the details of the boudoir setting, such as the flowers and the mirror, add to the overall feeling of elegance. The small size of the photograph, measuring 120 mm by 83 mm, suggests that it was intended for personal use or for publication in a magazine or book.
