Portret van een jongeman 1884 - 1895

This 19th-century photographic portrait, created by C. van der Aa & J. Chrispijn between 1884 and 1895, depicts a young man. The subject is presented in a formal pose, wearing a suit and tie. The photograph is a cabinet card, a popular format for portraiture in the late 19th century, and its small dimensions suggest it was intended for personal use. The use of a simple, oval frame and a neutral background emphasizes the subject’s face and expression, highlighting his youthful appearance and providing a glimpse into a bygone era.
