Portret van een zittende vrouw 1860 - 1890

"Portret van een zittende vrouw" (Portrait of a Seated Woman) is a carte de visite photograph created by the artist F. de Mon sometime between 1860 and 1890. The image, which measures 86 mm in height and 52 mm in width, depicts a woman seated in a chair with a cane resting on her lap. She is dressed in a long, dark gown and has her hair styled up in a bun. Behind her, a table with a basket and other objects, partially out of frame, can be seen. This small-scale photograph, typical of the carte de visite format, was likely intended as a personal memento.
