This carte de visite, a popular photographic format in the 19th century, shows a studio portrait of an unidentified woman. The photograph, created by Wegner & Mottu, captures her in a formal pose, with her hair styled in an elaborate updo. The woman's clothing and the overall composition of the image suggest it was taken for a personal or social occasion. It is a glimpse into the fashion and portraiture trends of the mid-19th century.
