Portret van een staande vrouw in toneelkostuum in bosdecor before 1889

This carte de visite, created by A. Eichenwald before 1889, depicts a woman in a theatrical costume standing against a backdrop of a forest. The woman's attire and the theatrical backdrop suggest the image was likely taken as a publicity photo for a theatrical performance. The image's small size, characteristic of cartes de visite, highlights its role as a collectible or personal memento. The use of a backdrop is common in photography of the late 19th century and the image evokes the style and artistry of the period.
