Portret van een staande vrouw 1860 - 1900

"Portret van een staande vrouw," a 19th-century carte de visite photograph by Lebrant y C., features a woman standing in a formal pose. The small, 83 x 50 mm print is characteristic of the popular carte de visite format which became widespread in the mid-19th century, enabling the mass production and distribution of portrait photographs. The woman's clothing and hairstyle suggest a date between 1860 and 1900, placing this work within the period when photography was rapidly evolving as an artistic and social practice. This photograph is an excellent example of early photographic portraiture that captures a moment in time.
