Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1873 - 1885

"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" is a small-scale, sepia-toned portrait photograph by Albert Alfred Warnery, a photographer from Elboeuf, France. Created between 1873 and 1885, the image features an unidentified young woman, posed in a three-quarter view, her face turned slightly to the right. Her hair is styled in a complex updo, common during the Victorian era, and she wears a high-necked, ornamented blouse, likely indicative of the period's fashion. The photograph's intimate scale and focus on the subject's details suggest it was intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento or a keepsake. The delicate details of the woman's clothing and the subtle pose further underscore the sentimentality of the piece, characteristic of portrait photography during this era.
