Photo of the bride and groom Robert-De Roever standing on a white sheet on the balcony of Vondelstraat 118, the house of professor and Mrs. Korteweg-d'Aulnis de Bourrouil. Behind the bride and groom, the garden and the house at the back are visible. The bride has placed her left hand on the arm of the groom; in the other hand she holds the bridal bouquet. In the middle of the décolleté, (presumably) a brooch is visible. She wears her hair flat around her head with a center part. The groom is dressed in a formal jacket, waistcoat, white shirt with a stiff collar and a knotted tie. On his left lapel a small corsage. Both hands are bare; the bride, on the other hand, wears gloves. In the right corner, in the foreground, a woman is visible, looking at the bride and groom. She is Mrs. Korteweg-d'Aulnis de Bourrouil, foster mother of Anna Maria Louise Elisabeth de Roever (daughter of the Amsterdam city archivist Nicolaas de Roever).
