The sitter is Blanche Masset Yovin, identified in the record from a caption card, so the date between 1885 and 1887 should be read as an estimate rather than a confirmed fact. Studio portraits from the mid-1880s were typically posed against painted backdrops with simple furniture, and prints like this were often mounted on card and kept in family albums or shared among friends. The pose, clothing and lighting show how sitters of that decade chose to present themselves, even when little else about a particular person survives.
