Twee portretten van een vrouw uit Quiçama before 1886

"Twee portretten van een vrouw uit Quiçama" (Two Portraits of a Woman from Quiçama), created by José Augusto da Cunha Moraes before 1886, are a pair of photographs depicting a woman from Quiçama, Angola, in both frontal and profile views. The work highlights the artist's interest in documenting the diverse cultures of Angola during a time of significant colonial influence. These photographs, likely taken for anthropological study, offer a glimpse into the attire and customs of the Quiçama people. The simple composition and focus on the subject's appearance emphasize the ethnographic value of these portraits.
