$20.21

Original antique studio portrait of a seated infant in a lace-trimmed white gown, photographed in Zeeland, Michigan and mounted on its original embossed studio card. The mount bears the studio imprint Van Koevering, Zeeland, Mich.

This portrait shows warm sepia toning and soft contrast consistent with albumen-era studio photography from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. A wonderful example of early Midwestern portraiture and Dutch-American community history.
