Portret van twee onbekende vrouwen 1863 - 1887

This portrait photograph, taken by Elliott & Fry, depicts two unidentified women. The image, which dates from 1863 to 1887, is a classic example of Victorian portraiture. The women are posed formally, the seated woman holding a book in her lap, and the standing woman resting her hand on a chair. The photograph showcases the meticulous detail and technical skill of the photographers at Elliott & Fry, a prominent portrait studio in London. The small size of the image, measuring just 103 mm by 63 mm, suggests it was likely intended for personal use as a carte-de-visite.
