Studioportret van een man met snor en baard c. 1863 - 1866

This studio portrait of a man with a mustache and beard was taken by the Abdullah Frères, a photography duo active in Egypt between 1863 and 1866. The photograph, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the subject in formal attire, emphasizing his social standing. The image exemplifies the rise of portraiture in the mid-19th century, a time when photography became increasingly accessible and popular for capturing personal identity.
