Portrait of Anna Zdunek (Stunick), c. 1900
This formal studio portrait captures Anna Zdunek (later Stunick and Haushalter) at the age of fifteen (as indicated by a hand-written note on the reverse), likely taken around 1900. The image reflects the transition from the Victorian to the Edwardian era, evidenced by her high-collared white blouse and soft, classically styled hair. As a young teenager living in Angola, New York, at the turn of the century, Anna is presented here with the dignity and poise typical of professional portraiture of the period.
