Portret van een man met bakkebaarden en een zittende vrouw 1861 - 1880

This carte de visite photograph, created by an anonymous photographer from the Parisian School of Photography between 1861 and 1880, captures a formally posed couple. The woman sits in a chair, while the man stands behind her with his hand resting on the back of the chair. The photograph is a testament to the popularity of the carte de visite format in the mid-19th century, used for sharing portraits with loved ones. The image, measuring just 86 mm in height and 51 mm in width, showcases the detail and artistry achieved in photographic portraiture during this period.
