Mademoiselle Jeannette 1869 - 1874

"Mademoiselle Jeannette" is a carte de visite portrait by Jeremiah Gurney, a prominent photographer in 19th century New York City. Created between 1869 and 1874, this small-scale photograph captures a young woman in a formal pose, wearing a delicate lace shawl and a floral embellishment in her hair. The image highlights Gurney's mastery of the carte de visite format, a popular form of portraiture in the Victorian era. The image is now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a testament to its lasting artistic significance.
