Portret van een onbekend meisje, vijftien jaar 1855 - 1885

This carte de visite photograph, likely taken between 1855 and 1885, captures a young woman, fifteen years old, in a formal pose. The subject is dressed in a long, dark dress with a patterned fabric, her hair styled in a simple bun, and she rests one hand on an elaborately carved chair. The image was created by Charles Boquet, whose work captured the essence of 19th-century portraiture, offering a glimpse into the life and style of a young woman during the period. The small size of the photograph, a hallmark of the carte de visite format, suggests it may have been intended for personal sharing or as a memento.
