Portret van een onbekende vrouw die breit before 1867

This photograph, taken by the Ghémar Frères photography studio before 1867, depicts a woman sitting on a bench, knitting. The image showcases the early development of photographic portraiture. The woman's pose is formal, and the detail in the dress, especially the lace cap, suggest a focus on capturing the subject's appearance. The image exemplifies the meticulous approach to portraiture prevalent in 19th-century photography, often capturing individuals and their garments with great detail.
