Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1866 - 1883

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a carte-de-visite photograph taken by Théodore Gedoelst between 1866 and 1883. This small-format portrait, measuring just 99 mm by 60 mm, captures an unidentified woman in a seated pose. She wears a patterned dress and holds her hands together in her lap, creating a sense of composure and formality. Gedoelst's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, enhancing the photograph's realism. This photograph is a prime example of portraiture from the 19th century, a time when photography was becoming increasingly popular.
