Portret van een onbekende vrouw Possibly 1888 - 1914

This is a portrait photograph of an unknown woman, taken by Jules Louis Faassen, a Dutch photographer who was active in Rotterdam. The photograph was likely taken between 1888 and 1914. The woman is depicted in profile, wearing a dark dress with a light lace overlay. The portrait is characteristic of the style of portrait photography popular in the late 19th century, known for its formal composition and focus on capturing the sitter's likeness. The small size of the photograph suggests that it may have been a cabinet card, a popular format for personal portraits in the period. The image is a valuable glimpse into the life of an unknown woman, offering insights into the fashion and style of the era.
