Portret van een jonge man in kostuum 1865 - 1885

Henri Pronk's "Portret van een jonge man in kostuum" (1865-1885) is a striking example of 19th-century portraiture. This small-scale, sepia-toned photograph captures a young man standing in a traditional costume. The subject is shown standing, his arms folded, with a confident posture. His elaborate clothing, including a kilt, is depicted with impressive detail, highlighting Pronk's mastery of photographic technique. The image is likely a carte-de-visite, a popular format in the mid-19th century for sharing portraits.
