"Portret van een onbekende zittende vrouw met een hoed op haar schoot" is a carte de visite portrait photograph by R. Piper, dating from 1860 to 1896. The image captures a seated woman in a fashionable dress, holding a hat in her lap. The intimate scale of the photograph, typical of carte de visite format, suggests a personal, possibly familial, context. The woman's neutral expression and composed posture, combined with the formal setting, allude to the popularity of portraiture in the 19th century as a means of commemorating individuals and capturing social status.
