A carte de visite (CDV) presents a woman dressed in traditional veiled attire, typical of Middle Eastern or North African cultural dress in the 19th century. The image offers a striking and culturally significant portrayal of modesty and the traditional customs of the time. The woman is fully covered, wearing a long outer garment that drapes over her entire body. Her face is partially concealed by a long veil, which covers her lower face, leaving only her eyes visible. The garment beneath the veil has decorative patterns along the hem, adding an element of detail to her otherwise austere appearance. The woman stands facing the camera, holding the veil in place with her hands. Her eyes are the focal point of the image, conveying a sense of mystery and dignity. The neutral backdrop emphasizes the simplicity and focus on the cultural attire.
