Portret van een onbekende vrouw before 1896

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman) is a small, intimate portrait by French artist Constant Puyo, created before 1896. The artwork depicts a woman seated in a chair, likely indoors, with a soft, almost dreamy expression. The woman is elegantly dressed and framed by a patterned background, perhaps fabric or wallpaper, adding to the sense of domesticity. Though the subject remains unidentified, Puyo's skillful portrayal captures a fleeting moment of quiet contemplation, characteristic of his realistic style. This miniature work offers a glimpse into the artist's interest in capturing everyday subjects and their emotions.
