This photograph shows a woman, Mlle Fargeuil, posing for a studio portrait. She's dressed in a theatrical costume. The photo is a type of 'carte de visite', a small photo on card, popular for sharing with friends and fans, which was a new idea back then, and many actors and actresses had them made to promote themselves. To learn more about this kind of photography, look up the technique: chiaroscuro.
