Portret van een vrouw met een boek zittend bij een lessenaar, aangeduid als Jane K. c. 1866

This carte de visite, a popular photographic format in the mid-19th century, depicts Jane K., seated at a desk with a book in hand. Created by the Surrey Photo Company around 1866, the image captures her in a contemplative pose, likely reflecting the era's emphasis on intellectual pursuits. The small size and intimate framing of the photograph were characteristic of the format, intended for personal collection and exchange among friends and family.
