Portret van een onbekend meisje naast een fauteuil 1878 - 1886

This portrait of an unknown girl, taken by Dutch photographer Louis Robert Werner between 1878 and 1886, showcases the formal style of portraiture prevalent in the 19th century. The young girl, dressed in a richly patterned dress, stands confidently beside an ornate armchair. The image is a classic example of the photographic carte de visite, a popular format during the Victorian era. This small-scale photograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a fleeting moment in time, offering a glimpse into the life and fashion of a young girl in late 19th century Amsterdam.
