Portret van een onbekende man, aangeduid als Amédée Duparc 1855 - 1885

This is a carte de visite portrait of an unknown man, possibly Amédée Duparc, by Erwin Hanfstaengl, a German photographer who worked in Paris. It dates from 1855-1885, a time when photography was becoming popular as a form of portraiture. The image captures the man in a formal pose, wearing a suit and tie, and leaning against an ornately carved piece of furniture. This photograph is an example of 19th century photographic portraiture and was likely commissioned as a personal keepsake.
