Striking original antique studio portrait of a young Western woman posed in Japanese-style dress, including a patterned kimono-style garment and elaborate hair ornaments.
The portrait reflects the late-19th/early-20th-century Western fascination with Japanese art and dress commonly described as Japonisme. “Geisha costume” is used as a style/search description only; the sitter is not identified as an actual geisha.
The photograph is mounted on dark studio card stock. No photographer or sitter identification is visible.
The photograph is not dated. The portrait styling, costume presentation and mount appear consistent with the turn-of-the-century / early-20th-century period, approximately late 1890s through 1910s.
Antique condition with visible age-related surface wear, light scratches/marks and wear to the mount. Please inspect all photos carefully for exact condition.
