Portret van een vrouw 1875 - 1896

"Portret van een vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Paul Joseph Nicolas Nestor Schaffers, a Belgian artist known for his portraits and genre paintings. The photograph, likely a carte-de-visite, depicts a woman in a formal dress, her hands clasped in her lap. Schaffers’ work often captured the nuances of human expression and social interaction. The small scale and oval format of this photograph suggests it was created for personal use, potentially as a keepsake for a family or friend.
