Portret van een vrouw, aangeduid als Jenny Braun 1850 - 1900

This is a portrait photograph, known as a carte de visite, of a woman identified as Jenny Braun, taken sometime between 1850 and 1900 by the Swedish photographer Waldemar Dahllöf. The image captures the woman in a seated pose, her gaze directed to her right, and her hands clasped together, holding a pen. Her attire, featuring a lace collar and a dark dress, reflects the fashion trends of the 19th century. This small format photograph, measuring just 85 mm in height and 51 mm in width, was a popular format during this period. It allowed people to share and exchange portraits easily, capturing the essence of the sitter in a relatively small and affordable manner.
