Portret van een vrouw, aangeduid als Mme. Richard before 1864

"Portret van een vrouw, aangeduid als Mme. Richard" is a small-format portrait photograph taken by François Théodore Wolter before 1864. The image depicts a woman, identified as Mme. Richard, seated in a chair, posing formally with her hands in her lap. The use of a simple backdrop and posed composition reflects the conventions of portrait photography during the mid-19th century. The photograph captures a moment of intimacy and offers insight into the life and style of a woman from the period. This image is a valuable example of Wolter’s work and a testament to the popularity of portrait photography in the 19th century.
