This carte de visite photograph, “Portret van een man,” was created by Dutch photographer Albert Greiner circa 1860-1885. The small, intimate format, popular in the 19th century, captures a young man in a seated pose, his formal attire and serious expression suggesting a portrait intended for personal use. The image, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the life and style of a man living during a time of great social and technological change.
