Studioportret van operazangeres Adelina Patti 1878 - 1890

This is a studio portrait of the famous Italian opera singer Adelina Patti, taken sometime between 1878 and 1890 by an unknown artist. The photograph, which measures 135mm by 96mm, captures Patti in a formal pose, her elegant dress and elaborate hairstyle accentuating her status as a celebrated performer. This black and white image is a prime example of the portraiture style of the late 19th century, often focusing on capturing the sitter's likeness and conveying a sense of grandeur.
