Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1855 - 1900

This carte de visite, a popular photographic format in the 19th century, was created by John George Kirby between 1855 and 1900. The photograph, a portrait of an unknown young woman, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the subject's likeness with a sense of intimacy. The oval frame adorned with delicate floral motifs and birds reflects the stylistic trends of the time, while the subdued tones of the image enhance the timeless quality of the portrait. The small size of the photograph makes it a perfect example of this widely circulated format, intended for personal sharing and collection.
