Portret van een onbekende jonge man 1863 - 1885

"Portret van een onbekende jonge man" is a carte-de-visite photograph, a popular format in the 19th century. Created by the photographer E. Delsart between 1863 and 1885, it depicts a young man, possibly in his late teens or early twenties, with a neatly trimmed mustache. The photograph is posed and formal, characteristic of portraiture during that era. The subject’s attire, a suit jacket and a white shirt, suggests he is likely from a middle to upper-class background. This intimate and detailed portrayal of a young man from this time period serves as a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into fashion and social norms of the 19th century.
