Studioportret van een vrouw in een lange jurk met stippen c. 1863 - 1870

This carte de visite, created by the photographic duo Wegner & Mottu around 1863-1870, captures a woman in a seated pose. The woman is dressed in a long, spotted dress with elaborate sleeves and a high-necked bodice. The detail in the dress’s fabric highlights the technical skill of the photographers. This portrait, a popular genre in 19th-century photography, is a classic example of the carte de visite format, a small, standardized photographic print often used as a calling card. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the era.
