Portret van George Sand 1864

This 1864 portrait by Nadar, a pioneering photographer, captures George Sand, a prominent French novelist and feminist, in a studio setting. Sand, known for her unconventional lifestyle and literary works exploring female identity, is depicted in a formal pose, clad in a striped cloak with a velvet collar. The image, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent literary figure through the lens of 19th-century portrait photography.
