Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1854 - 1885

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a carte-de-visite portrait photograph taken by H.W. Schrier, a photographer from Purmerend, Netherlands, between 1854 and 1885. The portrait shows a woman wearing a white cap and a dark dress, with a pearl necklace and a bracelet. She is posed with her left hand resting on a piece of furniture with a fringed edge, a common practice for portrait subjects at the time. The image showcases the technical skill of Schrier in capturing a detailed and lifelike portrait within a small format, a testament to the popularity of cartes-de-visite as a means of preserving personal memory in the 19th century.
