Portret van een onbekende vrouw bij een stoel 1871 - 1877

This carte de visite, a popular format for portrait photography in the 19th century, was created by Louis Robert Werner, a Dutch photographer known for his work in Amsterdam. The image shows a woman, possibly from the middle class, posed against a simple background, leaning against a chair. The detail of her clothing and her dignified expression suggest a sense of formality, common in portrait photography of the time. The image is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, one of the most prominent art museums in the Netherlands.
