Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1895

"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" is a portrait photograph of a young woman, likely taken by the photographer Charles Gallot in 1895. The image is a classic example of 19th-century portraiture, characterized by a formal composition and a focus on the subject's likeness. The young woman is dressed in a fashionable garment of the time, with her hair styled in a popular updo. This type of portrait was common in the late 19th century, often commissioned by individuals for personal use or as a memento of their time. The oval-shaped frame within the larger rectangle adds to the elegance of the piece.
