Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1880 - 1908

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Carl Wilhelm Bauer, a Dutch photographer active between 1880 and 1908. The photograph, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts an unknown woman in a formal pose, her face framed by a black lace veil and hat. The photograph's small size, 105 mm by 62 mm, suggests it may have been a cabinet card, a popular format in the late 19th century. Bauer's work, often capturing portraits and everyday scenes, provides valuable insight into the social and cultural life of the Netherlands during this period.
