"Ex-Queen of Naples" is a carte de visite photograph created in the 1860s by French photographers Furne Fils & H. Tournier. The image depicts a woman, likely a royal figure, standing in a formal pose, wearing a long white cloak with a patterned trim and a dark hat. The image is a testament to the popularity of carte de visite portraits in the mid-19th century. The small size of the image, typical of the format, allowed for easy sharing and collection, making it a popular medium for capturing portraits of prominent individuals, like the queen in this case.
