Portretstudie van een onbekende vrouw before 1900

"Portretstudie van een onbekende vrouw" is a portrait study of an unknown woman by H.W.R. Child. This sepia-toned photograph, created before 1900, showcases the woman in two poses. In one, she appears in profile, her head tilted upwards and hands clasped in prayer. The other pose is more formal, showing the woman’s face and upper body. The woman is adorned with a headscarf and jewelry, suggesting a more exotic or theatrical setting. The small size of the photograph, measuring 193 mm in height and 138 mm in width, allows for an intimate glimpse into the subject’s character.
