Untitled (Portrait of Woman) 1850 - 1899

"Untitled (Portrait of Woman)" is a carte de visite photograph by G. C. Gilchrest, created sometime between 1850 and 1899. The photograph depicts a woman with a serious expression, her gaze directed slightly to the left, adorned with elaborate hair, a large bow, and a fringed shawl. The image is a quintessential example of 19th-century portraiture, capturing the subject's likeness with a focus on detail and realism. It is currently held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
