Portret van een staande man met wandelstok en hoge hoed 1860 - 1894

This carte de visite, a popular format for portrait photography in the 19th century, depicts a man in formal attire, likely a wealthy gentleman. Taken by the Ghémar Frères, a photographic studio operating between 1860 and 1894, the image showcases the sitter's social standing with his high hat and walking stick, adding a touch of elegance to the composition. The photograph's small size, measuring just 85 mm by 52 mm, highlights the intimate and personal nature of these early photographic portraits. This particular piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
