This is a photograph made between 1861 and 1862. It shows a woman holding a print of bare trees against a plain backdrop. The print’s thin paper and untrimmed edges suggest it was made in sunlight on the family estate. The woman could be the artist herself, making this her only known self-portrait. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
