Portret van een onbekende vrouw, achterstevoren zittend op een stoel 1881 - 1905

This cabinet card photograph, titled "Portret van een onbekende vrouw, achterstevoren zittend op een stoel" (Portrait of an Unknown Woman, Sitting Backwards on a Chair), was created by Alfred Röhlander between 1881 and 1905. The portrait showcases a woman in a formal dress, her gaze directed toward the viewer, suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation. The image's simple composition, reminiscent of the photographic style of the time, captures the sitter's likeness with clarity. The small size and intimate scale of the cabinet card format, popular in the late 19th century, suggest the portrait was intended for personal use, possibly as a keepsake.
