Portret twee onbekende mannen met glazen drank 1855 - 1885

"Portret twee onbekende mannen met glazen drank" (Portrait of two unknown men with glasses of drink), created between 1855 and 1885 by Hch. Büssenschütt, is a cabinet card photograph. The image depicts two men seated in chairs around a small table. One man holds a glass while the other rests his hand on the table, with three bottles of alcohol arranged between them. The small size and straightforward composition, common for cabinet cards, suggests it was likely a personal photograph intended for private use. The use of a simple backdrop and focus on the figures hints at the developing genre of portrait photography in the mid-19th century.
