"Portret van een onbekend meisje" is a carte de visite photograph taken by the Belgian photographer Auguste Blanche between 1863 and 1866. The image captures a young girl, likely from a well-off family, standing in a simple pose, her hands clasped in front of her. The girl's attire and the overall composition of the image are typical of the formal portraiture style popular during the mid-19th century. The photographer's signature "Blanche, Photo. Anvers" appears in the lower right corner of the photograph, identifying the studio location as Antwerp, Belgium.
