Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1867 - 1879

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a carte de visite photograph, a popular format for portraiture in the 19th century. Created by Kannemans & Zoon, a photography studio in Breda, Netherlands, between 1867 and 1879, it depicts an unnamed woman in a formal pose. Her attire and the intricate detail of the chair suggest a person of some status. The image is a testament to the growing accessibility of photography in the latter half of the 19th century, allowing for the preservation of individual likeness.
