Portret van een staande vrouw 1863 - 1875

This 19th-century carte de visite, created by G. and R. Lavis between 1863 and 1875, features a portrait of a standing woman. The woman is posed in a formal manner, holding a hat and a shawl, and the image is characteristic of the portraiture popular during the Victorian era. The ornate frame and the use of a backdrop add to the sense of formality and suggest the photograph was likely taken for a personal or social purpose. The image offers a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the time.
