Portret van een staande vrouw met waaier in de hand 1860 - 1900

This 19th-century carte de visite by O.C. Smith is a portrait of a woman in a formal pose. The woman is standing, with her right hand resting on a small table. She is wearing a long, elegant dress with a lace shawl draped around her shoulders. The image, with its simple composition and fine detail, is characteristic of the popular photographic style of the mid-19th century. The small format, typical of the era, was meant for personal collections and exchanges.
