Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1900 - 1914

"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" (Portrait of an unknown young woman) is a photographic portrait by M. Shadwell Clerke, created between 1900 and 1914. It depicts a young woman with her hair elaborately styled and wearing a black, lace-trimmed garment, likely a shawl or veil. The photograph's intimate focus on the sitter's face, captured in a soft, subdued light, highlights the delicate features of the unknown woman. The image reflects Clerke's artistic sensibility, common in the early 20th century, which captured the individual beauty and individuality of everyday people, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during that era.
