Portret van een zittende, Indonesische man 1857 - 1880

This portrait, created by Woodbury & Page between 1857 and 1880, depicts a seated Indonesian man. The subject is dressed in traditional clothing, likely from the Dutch East Indies, and appears to be of a high social standing. The photograph, a carte de visite, was a popular format for portraiture during the 19th century. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of Indonesian people during the colonial period, offering insights into their attire and social customs. The grainy texture and faded tones are characteristic of early photographic techniques.
