"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" (Portrait of an unknown woman), created in 1881 by Auguste Achille Morse, is a black and white portrait of a woman in a headdress. The woman's face is prominently featured in the artwork. She is gazing downward, her gaze drawn towards the viewer. The woman is wearing a veil and a headdress, and her hands are clasped together. The composition is simple, focusing on the sitter's features and clothing, typical of the genre of portraiture.
