Portret van een onbekende vrouw bij een fauteuil 1850 - 1870

This carte de visite portrait, likely created by the photography studio of Maujean & Leopold Dubois between 1850 and 1870, features an unidentified woman in a formal pose. The woman, dressed in a dark gown and intricate lace, rests her hand on a tufted armchair, suggesting a sense of elegance and domesticity. The small format and inscription at the bottom are characteristic of the popular carte de visite genre, which allowed for the mass production and distribution of portraits during the mid-19th century.
