“[Unknown Sitters],” a work by French artist Pierre-Louis Pierson, comprises four small, framed portraits of women, likely from the mid-19th century, as indicated by their clothing. The intimate scale and elegant composition of these portraits, likely daguerreotypes, place them within the genre of portraiture popular in the 19th century, capturing the likenesses of individuals in a private and formal setting.
