Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw achter een stoel 1877 - 1885

This portrait, "Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw achter een stoel" was created between 1877 and 1885 by Jannis Jacobus van Melle, a Dutch photographer born in 1829 and died in 1911. The portrait captures an anonymous young woman in a formal pose, standing behind a chair. The use of light and shadow, a common element in portrait photography during this period, adds depth to the image. The detail on the woman's dress and the backdrop further demonstrate the skilled artistry of Jannis Jacobus van Melle. This small-format photograph captures the realism and elegance characteristic of 19th-century portraiture.
