Portret van een jonge vrouw, staand bij een stoel 1873 - 1900

This is a vintage photograph of a young woman standing in front of a chair. The image is framed in an oval, a common practice in the late 19th century. It was likely commissioned as a personal portrait by a member of the upper class, and shows the influence of photography on portraiture. The photograph was taken by Arno Kersten, a photographer working in Vienna during the late 19th century. This piece is considered an example of "cabinet card portrait", a popular format of the time. The image, while small in size, offers a glimpse into the personal photography practices of the late 19th century.
