Portret van een zittende jongen, Willem 1860 - 1880

"Portret van een zittende jongen, Willem" is a portrait photograph taken by the Dutch photographer Roelof Loots between 1860 and 1880. It depicts a young boy named Willem seated in an ornate chair, facing the camera with a composed expression. The image is characteristic of the formal portraiture style popular during this period, with a focus on capturing a realistic likeness and highlighting the subject's social status. Loots' use of light and shadow contributes to the image's depth and realism, making it a fine example of 19th-century photographic portraiture.
