Studioportret van een vrouw in een hooggesloten witte jurk c. 1863 - 1866

This carte de visite photograph by Schorteldoek, dating from 1863-1866, captures a woman in a high-necked white dress, standing in a studio setting. The woman's pose, with her hand resting on the back of a chair, suggests a formal portrait, likely commissioned for personal documentation or social display. The image is typical of the popular carte de visite format, which allowed for the mass production of small, affordable photographs in the mid-19th century. The photograph's delicate details, including the woman's dress and the chair, highlight the developing capabilities of photography and its growing significance as a medium for capturing likeness.
