"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a cabinet card photograph, dating from 1885-1906, by Dutch photographers W.G. Kuijer & Zonen. The photograph depicts an unknown woman in a formal pose, her profile turned slightly towards the viewer. Her hair is styled elaborately, with a braid and a decorative pin, and she wears a dark, buttoned dress and a white collar. The cabinet card format, common in the 19th century, was a popular way to display portraits and is indicative of the social and technological developments of the time.
