Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1845 - 1860

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman) is a daguerreotype created by Carl Ferdinand Stelzner between 1845 and 1860. This small-scale portrait depicts a woman in a formal pose, wearing a dark dress and a delicate lace collar. The image's faded tones and intricate frame, typical of the daguerreotype process, lend a sense of intimacy and mystery to the subject. While her identity remains unknown, this work provides a glimpse into the fashion and portraiture of the mid-19th century.
