"Portret van een man," is a portrait photograph, dating from 1869-1879, by Dutch photographer Christian Theodor Kirch (1883-1881). The image features a man in formal attire against a neutral backdrop, captured in an oval frame. Kirch's signature and the city of Amsterdam, where he was based, are visible on the card mount. The photograph exemplifies the popular practice of portraiture during the 19th century, capturing the likeness and social standing of the sitter. The photograph is a good example of the Carte de Visite style of portraiture, a popular format in the mid-19th century.
