Fotoreproductie van een portret van mogelijk Louisa Robinson 1840 - 1860

This 19th-century daguerreotype, created between 1840 and 1860, is a portrait of a young woman, possibly Louisa Robinson. The anonymous artist captured the sitter's likeness in a formal pose, highlighting her delicate features and the intricacies of her clothing. The oval format, a common choice for portraiture in the era, emphasizes the subject's importance and serves to frame her within a decorative, ornate frame. This small-scale work exemplifies the popularization of portraiture during the rise of photography.
