J. van Zwaan

J. van Zwaan was a photographer who specialized in portraiture, as seen in this sepia-toned photograph of two young girls. The girls are posed formally, with the girl on the left holding a basket of flowers. The photograph is framed with an ornate border and the style of the image is indicative of late 19th century portraiture. This type of photographic portraiture was popular in the Victorian era and captures the fashion and innocence of children of the time.
