Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1881 - 1905

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a carte-de-visite portrait, a popular photographic format in the 19th century, created by Belgian photographer J. Van Crewel Jeune between 1881 and 1905. The image captures a young woman, possibly from Antwerp, in a formal pose, dressed in the fashion of the era. The portrait is a striking example of the early photographic practice of capturing individual likenesses. The small size of the photograph, measuring 105mm by 64mm, was well-suited for personal collections and correspondence.
