Portret van een onbekende man en vrouw 1880 - 1885

This portrait, titled "Portret van een onbekende man en vrouw," was created by Alphonse Pestel between 1880 and 1885. It captures a formal pose of a man and woman, likely a couple, dressed in attire typical of the late 19th century. The man wears a suit and the woman a long, flowing gown. The background is a blurred outdoor scene with trees and foliage, hinting at a garden setting. The small size of the photograph, measuring only 106 mm in height and 62 mm in width, suggests it may have been a personal memento or a study for a larger work. The identities of the couple remain unknown, adding a layer of mystery to this intriguing piece of photographic history.
