Portretstudie van een onbekende vrouw met bloemen before 1900

This studio portrait by Mertens & Co. from the late 19th century captures an unknown woman in a seated pose. She holds a bouquet of flowers and is dressed in a fashionable outfit. The photograph likely belonged to a collection of studio portraits, which were popular at the time. The image reflects the style of portraiture common during that era, where a focus on detail and elegance was prevalent. The small size of the photograph, measuring just 177 mm in height and 105 mm in width, hints at its personal nature. This studio portrait provides a glimpse into the fashion and social practices of the late 19th century.
