Portret van een (vermoedelijk) Nederlandse militair, staand c. 1890 - 1920

Theodorus Ferdinant van de Pol, a Dutch photographer known for his portraits, captured this image of a Dutch military officer standing in a studio setting. Dated between 1890 and 1920, the photograph showcases the officer in full uniform, holding a sword, against a backdrop suggesting a natural setting. The composition, characterized by the subject's central placement and the simple yet effective use of props, reflects the typical style of portraiture during this era. This photograph provides a glimpse into the military fashion and the practice of studio portraiture in the late 19th and early 20th century.
