Portret van een onbekende jonge man in een bontjas 1865 - 1880

This carte de visite, taken by Frederik Renard between 1865 and 1880, depicts an unknown young man in a fur coat. The subject stands casually, one hand resting on a chair while the other holds a hat. The photograph showcases the detailed craftsmanship of Renard, a prominent photographer in the mid-19th century, and offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the era. The image's intimate scale and simple composition emphasize the subject's identity and individuality, a common characteristic of portrait photography during this period. The faded sepia tone, typical of the time, lends a timeless quality to the portrait.
