Portret van een onbekende man before 1903

"Portret van een onbekende man" is a portrait photograph by Dutch photographer C.J. von Dühren, created before 1903. The image captures a man with a beard seated in a three-quarter pose, looking directly at the viewer. His expression is serious, and his clothing suggests an individual of some standing. Von Dühren was a noted photographer who, at the time of the portrait's creation, was experimenting with a new photographic process called the "collodion" method, known for its sharp detail and tonal range. This black and white portrait highlights the subject's stern features and provides a glimpse into the life of an unknown man from the early 20th century.
