Portret van een staande vrouw 1865

This 1865 portrait by R. Steidl shows a woman standing in a simple indoor setting. She is wearing a white dress with a ruffled skirt, with her hair styled in a bun. Her pose and expression are reserved and formal, common in portrait photography of the era. The image's small size and simple framing point to its private nature, likely made as a personal memento or keepsake. The photograph captures the details of mid-19th-century fashion and the style of portrait photography popular during this time.
