Portret van een onbekend kind 1873 - 1885

"Portret van een onbekend kind" is a portrait photograph of a young girl, created between 1873-1885 by Albert Alfred Warnery. The young girl, seated in a field of grass, gazes directly at the viewer with a serious expression. This photograph, likely a carte de visite, is a striking example of 19th-century portraiture, capturing the innocence and vulnerability of childhood. The soft focus and the intimate scale of the image further enhance the sense of intimacy and connection between the viewer and the subject. The photograph's modest size, measuring 104 mm in height and 63 mm in width, underscores its personal nature. This work is attributed to the Dutch photographer Albert Alfred Warnery, whose career spanned the late 19th century.
