Portret van een actrice 1865 - 1894

Fritz Luckhardt’s “Portret van een actrice” is a small-scale portrait photograph of a young woman, likely an actress, dating from 1865 to 1894. The image features a close-up of the subject’s face and shoulders, with the woman looking slightly to her right. Her hair is styled in a fashionable updo, and she is adorned with a white flower. The photograph was taken in a studio setting and is likely a carte de visite, a popular format for photographic portraits in the 19th century. This small-scale format allowed for easy distribution and collection. The image captures the sitter’s elegant style, capturing the trends of the time.
