Portret van een man 1856 - 1875

"Portret van een man" is a portrait photograph taken by Johannes Wilhelmus Karsses in the Netherlands between 1856 and 1875. The photograph, measuring 81 mm by 52 mm, depicts a young man in a formal pose, likely a member of the upper class, with a slightly melancholic expression. The image showcases the artistry of Karsses, a prominent photographer who captured the details of 19th century Dutch society with his lens. The oval format of the image was popular during the Victorian era, and the crisp detail of the portrait suggests the use of the wet collodion process, a technique that produced high-quality photographic prints.
