Portret van een onbekende vrouw before 1901

This sepia-toned portrait, created by William Buckingham Dyer before 1901, showcases a young woman with dark hair in profile, her gaze directed downward. The soft lighting and blurred background create a sense of intimacy and mystery, emphasizing the subject's contemplative nature. The small dimensions of the work, measuring 156mm in height and 103mm in width, suggest it was likely a personal portrait intended for private viewing, reflecting the emerging artistic trend of intimate portraiture in the late 19th century.
