Portret van een jonge man in kostuum met degen, aangeduid als J. Dirkzwager 1860 - 1905

This portrait by Dutch photographer Jan Goedeljee, taken between 1860 and 1905, depicts a young man in a costume, possibly J. Dirkzwager. The subject is dressed in a historical style outfit, complete with a ruff, a plumed hat, and a sword. The photograph is a carte-de-visite, a small format popular in the 19th century, and the use of an oval frame emphasizes the formal nature of the portrait. Goedeljee was known for his photographic portraits, and this work exemplifies his skill in capturing detail and conveying a sense of presence.
