Portret van een onbekende vrouw, staande achter een stoel 1854 - 1889

This carte-de-visite photograph, created by Disdéri & Co. between 1854 and 1889, features an unknown woman standing behind a chair. The photograph, a popular format in the mid-19th century, captures the sitter in a formal pose, showcasing her clothing and accessories. The woman is dressed in a long, dark gown with a white lace collar and a shawl. Her serious expression and the ornate chair suggest a person of status and wealth. The photograph is a valuable glimpse into the life of a 19th-century woman and the evolving art of portraiture. It is currently part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
