Madame Douane 1893

"Madame Douane" is a portrait photograph taken in 1893 by the French photographer Pierre-Louis Pierson. The image features a woman standing in a grand pose, wearing a dark gown and a large, feathered hat. Her expression is stoic, and her attire suggests she is of a high social class. The photograph was likely taken for a formal portrait or album, and it offers a glimpse into the fashionable attire and portraiture styles of the late 19th century. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
