Portret van Rita Sangalli c. 1870 - 1875

This carte-de-visite, a small-format portrait, is a photograph of Rita Sangalli taken by Charles Reutlinger in Paris sometime between 1870 and 1875. The portrait showcases Sangalli in an oval frame and is a prime example of the portraiture popular in the mid-19th century, depicting her as a refined lady of the time. The photograph is part of a collection held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Reutlinger, a noted photographer, captured her with a sharp focus and elegant composition.
