Portret van een onbekende vrouw before 1894

This portrait of an unknown woman, dating from before 1894, is a small work by American photographer Mary Bartlett. The photograph is framed in an ornate oval with gold accents and it is likely the cover art from a book. The title, "A Girl I Know", suggests a sentimental subject, further emphasizing the charming and intimate nature of this work. Bartlett’s work is often characterized by its focus on capturing the beauty and innocence of youth, and this piece is a fine example of her style.
