Portret van een jonge vrouw 1882 - 1900

"Portret van een jonge vrouw" is a small, intimate portrait of a young woman, likely taken as a personal memento. The image, created by Henry O'Shea between 1882 and 1900, is framed within an ornate decorative border. This suggests the use of a carte de visite, a popular form of photographic portrait during the 19th century, known for its diminutive size and elegant design. The young woman's somber expression and simple clothing give a glimpse into the quiet dignity and fashion of the time.
