Portret van een onbekende vrouw c. 1855 - 1870

This portrait of an unknown woman was created by Julia Margaret Cameron, a pioneer of photography who embraced the art form's artistic potential. Taken between 1855 and 1870, the image showcases Cameron's signature style, known for its soft focus and evocative lighting. The subject, dressed in a dark frock coat, gazes wistfully towards the viewer, her expression hinting at a sense of mystery and introspection. The detail in the background, likely a glimpse of the photographer's garden, enhances the intimate and dreamlike atmosphere of the composition.
