Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1879 - 1885

This is a portrait of an unknown woman, captured by Johann Georg Hameter between 1879 and 1885. The photograph, part of a carte de visite series, shows the woman in a formal pose, her face and attire revealing the fashion of the late 19th century. The image captures a fleeting moment in time, offering a glimpse into the life of an ordinary woman from the period. The artist, Hameter, was known for his portraiture and his work as an apothecary, a fact that is subtly incorporated into the image with the inscription at the bottom. This piece is a valuable historical document, offering insight into both photographic practices and social customs of the time.
