Portret van een jonge vrouw leunend op een stoel 1874 - 1878

This 19th-century carte de visite portrait, created by the Dutch photography studio of P. Vlaanderen & C. van der Aa between 1874 and 1878, captures a young woman in a formal pose, leaning on a chair. The image, measuring 82mm by 51mm, showcases the studio's ability to capture detail and light. The ornate oval frame, a common feature of the era, highlights the sitter, whose attire and posture speak to the conventions of portraiture in the late 19th century. Cartes de visite, small photograph cards, became popular as a way to share images of oneself with family and friends, and this example provides a glimpse into the social and photographic practices of the time.
