Carte de visite studio portrait of a veiled Arab woman.This carte de visite (CDV) features a woman dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, including a niqab, which covers her face, leaving only her eyes visible. The niqab is complemented by a long veil that drapes over her head and shoulders. The woman's hands, adorned with rings, are positioned in front of her, one resting over the other.
The woman is wearing a traditional robe, known for its loose fit and long sleeves, typical of the period's dress in Egypt. The niqab she wears is part of the traditional Islamic dress, which covers the face except for the eyes. The intricate detailing on the fabric, particularly the embroidery on the sleeves and the textured veil, indicates a high level of craftsmanship.
The backdrop is plain, focusing all attention on the subject's attire and her pose. This minimalist setting was common in studio photography of the era, allowing the subject's features and clothing to be the central focus of the image
