Portret van een vrouw bij een spiegel 1856 - 1865

"Portret van een vrouw bij een spiegel" is a photographic portrait of a woman, taken by the studio of Maull & Polyblank in 1856 - 1865. The woman stands elegantly in a voluminous dress with a prominent belt, resting her hand on an ornately carved piece of furniture, possibly a commode. The composition is typical of formal portraiture from the mid-19th century, capturing the subject in a posed and composed manner. The small format of the image suggests that this is likely a carte-de-visite, a popular photographic format for sharing portraits in the Victorian era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the style and social customs of the time.
