Portret van een jongeman 1860 - 1900

"Portret van een jongeman" is a small-scale portrait by August Döpke, dating from 1860-1900. The photograph captures a young man in a formal pose, likely a studio portrait, and highlights the detail and realism of photography in the late 19th century. The use of a formal setting and composition reflects the popularity of portraiture as a way to document individuals and families during this period. The small dimensions of the photograph suggest it may have been part of a personal album or a collection of smaller portraits.
