This cabinet card portrait, created between 1873 and 1908, captures an unknown couple, a man and a woman, posed in an interior setting. The photographer, Carl Wilhelm Bauer, was a prominent figure in the Dutch photographic scene, known for his portraiture and his use of the albumen print process. The couple is depicted in formal attire, hinting at their social standing, and the composition is typical of 19th-century portrait photography, with a focus on capturing likeness and detail. This work is a valuable glimpse into the fashion and social conventions of the time.
