Portret van mevrouw Cibiel c. 1860 - 1865

This carte-de-visite, created by the Parisian studio Disdéri & Co., is a portrait of Madame Cibiel taken between 1860 and 1865. The photograph shows Madame Cibiel seated in a chair, her posture dignified and her gaze directed towards the viewer. The image, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the popular photographic format of the mid-19th century, showcasing the studio's expertise in capturing the likeness of their subjects with a sense of realism. The small size of the photograph, measuring only 98 mm in height and 61 mm in width, highlights its intended function as a personal keepsake or a means of sharing images among friends and family.
