Portret van een onbekende vrouw, zittend aan tafel 1878

Albert Greiner’s 1878 carte de visite portrait, "Portret van een onbekende vrouw, zittend aan tafel," captures a seated woman in a formal pose. The woman, whose identity remains unknown, wears a dark dress with elaborate trim, a lace collar, and a black hat with a bow. Her hands are neatly clasped in her lap, suggesting a composed and respectable character. The photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into 19th-century portraiture, highlighting the social conventions and sartorial trends of the time.
