"Miss Engel, from the Actresses series (N203)" is a 1889 portrait by William S. Kimball & Company featuring a young woman named Miss Engel. Part of a larger set of trading cards produced for Wm. S. Kimball & Co.'s cigarettes, this piece is a prime example of late 19th-century portraiture, emphasizing realism and natural poses. The card features Miss Engel looking directly at the viewer, her expression calm and composed. The image is a simple yet striking representation of a woman, capturing her individuality in a brief yet memorable moment. This piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
