"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman) is a 19th-century carte de visite photograph by the studio of Altobelli & Molins, created between 1858 and 1866. This small, intimate portrait captures a woman in a dark dress, likely from the middle or upper class, holding a fan and standing before a draped backdrop. The image exemplifies the popular portraiture style of the mid-19th century, capturing a moment of stillness and elegance.
