Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1855 - 1885

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a carte de visite photograph by Antoine Crespon, created between 1855 and 1885. The portrait captures a young woman in a fashionable gown, likely a member of the upper class, in a three-quarter-length pose, leaning against a wooden object. The detail of the photograph's dimensions hints at its intended use as a personal memento. The image embodies the popularity of portraiture photography in the mid-19th century and exemplifies Crespon's work as a photographer in this popular genre.
