"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" is a carte de visite photograph created by the studio of Wegner & Mottu, active in Amsterdam and Utrecht between 1875 and 1884. The photograph, featuring a young woman with her hair pulled back, is a classic example of portraiture from the era. Its small size, typical of the format, suggests it was likely intended for personal use or as a memento. The simple composition and neutral background focus attention on the subject's facial features, capturing a glimpse into the life of an anonymous individual from the 19th century. The photograph offers a valuable insight into the history of portrait photography in the Netherlands during the late 19th century.
