Portret van een zittend meisje met witte klederdrachtmuts en oorijzers 1860 - 1880

This is a small-format portrait of a young woman in traditional Dutch dress, taken by F.D. van Rosmalen & Zoon, a photography studio operating in the Netherlands from 1860 to 1880. The woman is seated in a chair and wears a white cap and earmuffs, a common style of dress for young women in the 19th century. This type of studio portrait was popular throughout the 19th century, capturing the likeness of individuals and families for posterity. The portrait is framed within a decorative oval, a common design element in photography of the period. This is an example of a carte-de-visite, a small photographic print that became a popular form of social exchange in the mid-19th century.
