Portret van een onbekende vrouw c. 1880 - 1905

This is a cabinet card photograph, a popular format in the late 19th century, taken by the Amsterdam studio of Wegner & Mottu. The image captures a woman, likely from a middle or upper-class background, as she stares intensely at the camera. Her clothing, particularly the large lace collar, points to her status, and the formal composition further emphasizes her presence. This portrait, a timeless capture of an anonymous figure, showcases the studio's skill in capturing individuality within a standardized format.
