Portret van een man met een stropdas c. 1891s - 1901s

"Portret van een man met een stropdas" is a portrait photograph by Dutch artist Henri de Louw, capturing an unidentified man in formal attire, likely from the late 19th century. The image is framed in a simple black and gold border, a common practice for portrait photography of the era. De Louw, born in 1851, was a prolific photographer, and this work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the time. The man's serious expression and tailored clothing convey an air of respectability, characteristic of the social norms of the period.
