Portret van een jongen in Roemeense klederdracht met cape 1870 - 1890

This photograph, "Portret van een jongen in Roemeense klederdracht met cape" by Carol Popp de Szathmari (1812-1887), depicts a young boy wearing traditional Romanian clothing. The boy stands against a simple backdrop, his gaze directed towards the viewer. The detail in the costume, particularly the embroidered vest, highlights the artist's attention to capturing the authenticity of the subject's cultural heritage. This photographic portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Szathmari's interest in documenting the diverse cultures of Romania.
