About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with pale skin and light hair pulled back. She wears a dark dress with a white collar and bow at the neck, looking straight ahead with a calm expression. The background is plain, focusing all attention on her face and upper body. The photo was taken in 1894, showing a quiet, realistic style. Her simple clothing and direct gaze feel honest and unposed.
