Portret van een onbekende Kanyang man uit Assam before 1868

This photograph, titled "Portret van een onbekende Kanyang man uit Assam" by Benjamin Simpson, is a portrait of an unidentified Kanyang man from Assam. It was taken before 1868, a time when the region was under British rule. Simpson's work often depicted indigenous peoples of India, and this image is a valuable record of Kanyang culture and appearance. The man is shown wearing traditional clothing and a turban, likely intended as a record of his community's attire. The portrait's intimate scale and simple composition contribute to its realism and focus on the subject.
