Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1882 - 1885

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a portrait photograph taken by J. Van Crewel Jeune in 1882-1885. The image captures a woman with a serious expression, dressed in a dark garment, with a white collar, framed within an oval. This is a common style for portrait photographs of the time, as it emphasized the sitter’s features and provided a formal and dignified presentation. The subject’s identity remains unknown, adding an element of mystery to the piece. The photograph's intimate scale, measuring 105 mm by 63 mm, suggests it was intended for personal viewing or as a memento.
