Portret van een onbekende man 1890 - 1918

"Portret van een onbekende man" is a portrait photograph from 1890-1918 by J. Siewers & Zoon, a photography studio in Edam, Netherlands. This cabinet card portrait, typical of the period, features a young man in formal attire, captured in a straightforward, posed style. The image's small dimensions (105 mm x 64 mm) suggest it was likely a personal memento, capturing a moment in the life of an unidentified sitter. The black and white tones and crisp details create a sense of realism, characteristic of early photographic practices. The portrait offers a glimpse into the style and aesthetic of portraiture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
