Portret van een onbekende jongen met wandelstok 1902 - 1909

Anton Cornelis Thomann's "Portret van een onbekende jongen met wandelstok" is a black and white portrait photograph of a young boy, taken sometime between 1902 and 1909. The boy is posed formally, with a serious expression, holding a walking stick in his right hand. He is dressed in a dark jacket, buttoned up to the top, and stands in front of a backdrop of a patterned wall and a simple table. The composition is classic, focusing on the subject and showcasing Thomann's skill in capturing a striking yet sensitive portrayal. The image is a small, intimate portrait, measuring just 104mm by 62mm, likely taken for a private purpose, perhaps as a family keepsake.
