Portret van George Sand before 1879

This portrait of French novelist George Sand was created by famed photographer Nadar, who is known for his portraits of prominent figures in 19th-century French society. The image showcases Sand's strong and intelligent countenance, captured in a realistic and intimate style, typical of Nadar's work. The photograph appears as part of a larger publication, likely a magazine or journal, featuring ornate borders that allude to the artistic and literary themes of the publication. This portrait is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, providing a glimpse into the life of a prominent female writer of the era.
