Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1862 - 1880

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a carte de visite photograph by Matthijs Adolph Conen, created between 1862 and 1880. The portrait depicts an unidentified woman in a dark dress and white collar, standing in a formal pose, with her hand resting on a chair. The subject's gaze is directed slightly away from the viewer, giving the portrait a sense of both intimacy and mystery. Conen's photograph, typical of the period, captures the likeness of the sitter in a timeless and refined manner. The small size and simple composition are typical of the genre and contribute to the intimate nature of the portrait.
