Portret van een onbekende jongen in een matrozenpak 1880 - 1920

This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Portret van een onbekende jongen in een matrozenpak" (Portrait of an unknown boy in a sailor suit) was taken between 1880 and 1920 by Dutch photographer Simon Bakker Jz. The image captures a young boy dressed in a sailor outfit, standing beside a rustic wooden structure, looking directly at the camera. The image's muted tones and simple composition highlight the boy's innocent expression, making it a touching example of early 20th-century portraiture. This photograph is a small, yet intimate glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the late 19th and early 20th century in the Netherlands.
