Guillaume Delrée’s *Portret van een onbekende vrouw aan een tafel* is a carte de visite portrait, a popular format of photograph from the 19th century. The photograph, taken between 1862 and 1869, captures a woman in profile seated at a table. Her demure pose and the simple background highlight the subject, likely a member of the middle class. The detail in her dress and the elegant framing of the image reflects the growing popularity of portrait photography in the era. This small, intimate format allowed for a personal keepsake of the individual, often exchanged as a social gesture.
