Portret van een vrouw met hoofddeksel 1880 - 1910

This carte de visite, created between 1880 and 1910 by the artist T. Taylor, depicts a woman in a head covering. The portrait is framed by an ornate design featuring a bird perched on a branch, surrounded by leaves and butterflies. The use of a vignette framing technique, where the portrait fades into the surrounding design, was popular in 19th-century photography. The small size of the image, 82 mm by 52 mm, is characteristic of the carte de visite format, which was widely used for exchanging portraits during the Victorian era.
