Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1866 - 1875

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman) is a small-scale portrait photograph created by Edmond Bacot between 1866 and 1875. The image depicts a woman dressed in a dark, possibly velvet, gown with a white collar and a bow at the neck. Her hair is styled in a bun, and she wears small earrings. Bacot's portrait captures a quiet intensity in the woman's gaze, leaving the viewer to wonder about her identity and story. The photograph's small dimensions, measuring just 105 mm by 63 mm, suggest it was likely intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento or a gift.
