Portret van een man 1860 - 1880

"Portret van een man" is a portrait photograph by Johannes Ephraim, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century. The small format image (85 mm x 53 mm) depicts a young man in formal attire, posed against a plain backdrop. This work is characteristic of Ephraim's style, focusing on straightforward portraiture with sharp detail. The use of an oval frame adds a touch of formality and elegance to the composition, typical of portrait photography during this period. The photograph likely captured the likeness of an individual from Ephraim's clientele, offering a glimpse into the fashion and portrait trends of the era.
