Portret van een onbekende vrouw, staande naast een stoel met een kleed over haar arm 1863 - 1870

This carte de visite photograph, created between 1863 and 1870 by Dutch photographer Eduard François Georges, captures an unknown woman standing beside a chair. The woman, dressed in a dark gown and a striped shawl, looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The simple composition emphasizes the subject's elegance and formality, characteristic of portraiture in the mid-19th century. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artistry of early photography and offers a glimpse into the fashion and social conventions of the time.
