Portret van een onbekende man of vrouw c. 1865 - 1900

This portrait of an unknown man or woman is a small glass ambrotype created by Dutch photographer Laurens Lodewijk Kleijn around the mid to late 19th century. The image itself is a simple bust portrait, with only the subject's face and neck visible against a light background. Ambrotypes were a popular type of photograph in the 19th century, and were known for their unique and delicate beauty. The image is faded and damaged, adding to its ethereal charm and offering a glimpse into the past. This small and intimate portrait hints at a life lived long ago, a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time.
