Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1854 - 1885

This carte de visite, created between 1854 and 1885 by the studio Photographie De Concurrent in Amsterdam, depicts an unknown woman in a simple, dark dress. The studio was known for producing high-quality portraits and this image exemplifies their skill in capturing the sitter's expression and details. The portrait’s intimate scale and composition were characteristic of the carte de visite format, which emerged in the mid-19th century and became a popular way for people to share images of themselves.
