Foto uit archief Jan Veth 1866 - 1923

This black and white photograph, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a portrait of an unidentified man. The artist is unknown, but the image itself is dated between 1866 and 1923. The subject looks directly at the viewer with a serious expression. His hair is neatly parted and combed, and he wears a dark suit with a white collar and a bow tie. The photograph likely captures a young man, perhaps in his late teens or early twenties. This portrait, made during a period of rapid modernization in the Netherlands, reflects the changing social norms and ideals of beauty of the time.
