Photograph (albumen print) in an oval on the original backing with an embossed and printed passe-partout, measuring 19.6 x 13.5 cm. Manufacturer unmarked. In good condition; the upper left corner of the backing board is torn; traces of adhesive on the left edge of the reverse side.
A woman is depicted from the waist down, seated at a table with her hands resting on an open book, wearing a dark dress with decorative buttons and lace cuffs. The oval is enclosed in a decorative frame of pearls and ribbons; below it is the signature “J. Szuster.” On the reverse, a later annotation in pencil: “Julia née Kr[...]ich Antoniowa Szuster (1830–1884); she had two daughters—Elżbieta and Karolina.” Antoni Szuster (1820–1906)—a lithographer and owner of a paper, ledger, and print warehouse on Teatralny Square, brother of Franciszek, from whom he inherited the small palace on Dworkowa Street.”
According to the annotation, the woman portrayed is Julia, wife of Antoni Szuster (1820–1906), a Warsaw lithographer and merchant, owner of a paper and print warehouse on Teatralny Square. Antoni was the brother of Franciszek Karol Szustr, owner of the Szustr Palace on Dworkowa Street in Mokotów, built between 1772 and 1774 for Princess Izabela Lubomirska according to a design by Efraim Szreger (today the headquarters of the Warsaw Music Society).
