Listing description

Antique CDV Stately Old Lady in Dark Dress White Collar Hands Folded Unmarked

This CDV captures a stately old lady posed with a dignified and stoic expression. She is dressed in a heavy dark dress that contrasts sharply against a crisp white collar, a classic fashion choice of the Victorian era. Her hands are folded neatly in her lap, emphasizing a sense of calm and composed patience during her studio sitting.

Collectors of 19th-century portraiture will value this unmarked piece for its sharp focus and the formal atmosphere it conveys. It serves as a striking example of period mourning or matronly attire, fitting perfectly into a collection centered on genealogy or social history.

A beautiful historical record of this nameless but impressive lady.
