Portret van een onbekend meisje c. 1855 - 1870

This is a black and white portrait of an unknown young girl, taken by renowned British photographer Henry Peach Robinson around 1855-1870. The young subject is positioned standing, in an oval frame, and wearing a dark dress with white accents. Robinson was a pioneer of the photomontage, but this portrait seems to be a more traditional single-exposure, showcasing the photographer's skilled use of lighting and composition to capture the girl's youthful innocence. This type of portrait would have been typical of the Victorian era, a time when the photographic image was increasingly becoming a valued tool for recording and memorializing personal memories.
