Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1907 - 1914

"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" is a 1907-1914 photograph by French artist Charles Gallot, depicting a young woman with a formal, yet understated, expression. Her hair is styled elaborately and she wears a dark dress with a lacy collar. The photograph is presented in an oval portrait format, common in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is characteristic of the era's photographic portraiture, highlighting the sitter's elegance and composure. This small-scale image, measuring just 105 mm x 66 mm, would have been a personal memento, perhaps a treasured keepsake for the woman's family. The image showcases Gallot's skill in capturing the sitter's likeness and evoking a sense of time and place.
