Studioportret van een zittende vrouw c. 1885 - 1900

This studio portrait of a seated woman was created by photographer Edward Sharp sometime between 1885 and 1900. The subject is seated in a chair with a book resting on a table beside her. Her posture is relaxed and she stares directly at the camera. The image is a fine example of a 19th-century photographic portrait, capturing the sitter’s likeness with a sense of formality and realism. The detail in her dress and the presence of the table and chair provide context for the portrait. Edward Sharp, the photographer, has placed his name prominently below the image. This black and white photograph, measuring 143 mm in height and 96 mm in width, showcases the artistry of portraiture during this era.
