Portret van een zittende man met een jas c. 1859 - 1869

This carte-de-visite, created by the photography studio Tresling & Comp. between 1859 and 1869, captures a seated man in a formal pose. The man is dressed in a dark suit and a bow tie, his gaze directed towards the viewer. This small-format photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popularity of portraiture during the mid-19th century, with the carte-de-visite format becoming a widely used method for personal documentation and social exchange.
