Portret van een zittende vrouw met hoofddeksel 1850 - 1900

This 19th-century portrait by E. Schmid is a photograph of a seated woman in a formal pose. The woman is dressed in a dark, elegant gown, with a lace veil and elaborate head covering. The portrait is a fine example of photographic portraiture during a time when the medium was gaining popularity, capturing the likeness of individuals with increasing detail and realism. The small dimensions of the photograph, 85 mm by 51 mm, suggest it may be a carte de visite, a format popular for exchanging portraits during the mid-19th century.
