Portret van een man met een baard in militair kostuum 1860 - 1877

This portrait of a man in military uniform, taken by Dutch photographer Bernardus Bruining between 1860 and 1877, is an example of the popular carte de visite format. The small, oval-shaped image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the subject's gaze and features intricate details of his uniform, including the braided epaulets and a tassel. The photograph, likely commissioned by the sitter himself, offers a glimpse into 19th-century portraiture and the significance of military service.
