Portret van een vrouw 1875 - 1885

This small-scale portrait of a woman, created by Eugene Guérin between 1875 and 1885, depicts a woman in a dark dress with a light-colored collar and a dark bow. The photograph is framed in an oval shape and surrounded by two rings. This piece exemplifies the popular photographic portraits produced in the 19th century. The detail in the woman's features and dress, as well as the ornate frame, suggests the work was intended for a personal setting.
