Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw before 1896

"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" is a portrait of a young woman by Philipp von Schoeller, a prominent German photographer known for his work in portraiture. The image, created before 1896, is a classic example of the photographic realism favored during that time. The woman's face is the focal point, with a dark background providing stark contrast. Her expression is both composed and slightly melancholic, hinting at a hidden story. This intimate portrait highlights Schoeller's talent for capturing a subject's essence with remarkable clarity and depth.
