Portret van een onbekende man, aangeduid als Th. Lucassen Possibly 1896

This is a small-scale portrait of an unknown man, possibly named Th. Lucassen, created by Idanus Hendrikus Slaterus in 1896. Slaterus, a photographer who was active in the Netherlands between 1846 and 1921, is known for his portraits. The image is presented in a simple, straightforward style, emphasizing the subject's features and attire. This small-format portrait, measuring just 105 mm by 64 mm, is a typical example of the carte-de-visite format that became popular in the 19th century. It serves as a glimpse into the life and appearance of a man from that era.
