En ung dame på en altan is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a woman standing on what looks like a balcony or porch. She’s wearing a long dress with a high collar and ruffles at the wrist, facing away from us. The background is dark and blurry, with a rough wall texture and a few faint shapes that might be steps or a railing. The lighting is soft, making her clothes stand out against the shadowy backdrop. Her posture is relaxed but a little stiff, like she’s posing for the photo. If you like this style, check out *chiaroscuro* next.
