This portrait of an unknown man was likely created before 1897 and features a man from the Bangala tribe in the Congo. The image is in black and white and depicts the man’s head and shoulders. The subject’s face is turned to the side and he has short, cropped hair. The image is small in size, measuring only 53 mm by 50 mm. This anonymous work provides a glimpse into the lives of those living in the Congo during this period.
