Portret van een onbekende jongeman 1871 - 1880

"Portret van een onbekende jongeman" is a carte de visite portrait by Bernhard Hakelier, a Dutch photographer known for his portraiture. This photograph, taken between 1871 and 1880, captures a young man in a formal pose, wearing a suit and tie. The subject's identity remains unknown, adding a layer of mystery to the image. The small size and intimate framing characteristic of the carte de visite format, popular in the 19th century, makes this portrait feel both personal and evocative.
