Portret van een staande vrouw met omslagdoek 1860 - 1890

This 19th-century carte de visite by Clarkington & Company, created between 1860 and 1890, depicts a woman standing in a formal pose. She wears a lace shawl over a flowing gown, a popular fashion trend of the era. The image is framed with a decorative border, characteristic of the photographic style of the time. Carte de visites were small, easily-exchanged calling cards, often featuring portraits. This example reflects the growing popularity of photography and its role in documenting social life in the mid-19th century.
