About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a person dressed in old-fashioned clothes. They’re wearing a high, puffy wig with curls on the sides and a light-colored jacket with ruffled cuffs. The person holds a small object in one hand, maybe a fan or a key. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, judging by the style. The Museum of Ethnography says it’s called *Dameportræt*—that’s Danish for "lady portrait." If you want to see more old photos like this, look up Museum of Ethnography.
