Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw 1870 - 1881

"Portret van een onbekende jonge vrouw" (Portrait of an Unknown Young Woman), a carte-de-visite photograph created between 1870 and 1881 by Dutch photographer Coenraad Cornelis Roskam, showcases a young woman in a formal pose. The sitter's gaze is direct, and her clothing and hairstyle suggest she was a member of the upper class. The image, with its oval frame, exemplifies the popular format of the time, capturing a fleeting moment in time with a personal touch. This work is a testament to the artistic potential of portrait photography in the late 19th century.
