Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1855 - 1900

"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" is a carte de visite portrait, a popular format for photographs in the mid-19th century. The image, created by Taylor & Co. between 1855 and 1900, shows a young woman with a serious expression, her hair styled in a bun and wearing a patterned blouse with a bow tie. The photograph is encased in an oval frame on a card with decorative flourishes, a common presentation for these early photographic prints. Carte de visite portraits were often commissioned to capture likenesses for personal keepsakes or for sharing with loved ones, and this image serves as a window into the lives of individuals from the past.
