Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1881 - 1903

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Dutch photographer Max Cosman, dating from 1881 to 1903. It features a woman, posed against a simple backdrop. She is wearing a dark dress with a lace trim and her hair is styled in a fashionable updo. The photograph, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the photographic portraiture popular during the 19th century, capturing the subject in a formal and dignified manner. The small dimensions of the work, 104 mm in height and 65 mm in width, suggest it might have been a studio portrait, intended for personal use.
