Portret van een vrouw met muts 1860 - 1894

This carte de visite portrait of a woman, taken by the Ghémar Frères studio, is an example of 19th-century photography. Dating from 1860-1894, the image captures the sitter in a formal pose, adorned with a decorative hat and lace collar. The photograph, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the time. The small size and oval format were typical of the carte de visite, a popular form of portraiture that allowed individuals to share images of themselves with friends and family.
