Portret van een zittende vrouw 1860 - 1900

This small-scale portrait by R. Griffiths, dating from 1860-1900, captures a seated woman in a formal pose. The photograph, likely a carte de visite, showcases the popularity of this format during the late 19th century. The subject's attire and somber expression reflect the prevailing social conventions of the time, making this a fascinating glimpse into Victorian portraiture. The ornate frame, a common feature of the period, further enhances the work's aesthetic appeal.
