Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1875 - 1886

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a black and white portrait photograph created by Dahllöf & Co., a Swedish photography studio, between 1875 and 1886. The photograph depicts a young woman, likely a middle-class citizen, in a seated pose, gazing directly at the viewer. The studio's signature, "Waldemar DaHllöf & C:o," appears at the bottom, marking it as a professional portrait. This type of photograph was common in the late 19th century, offering individuals a way to preserve their likeness for posterity. The small format and simple background typical of cabinet cards suggest this may have been intended for personal use.
