Portret van een man c. 1865 - 1890

This portrait of an unidentified man was created by Dutch photographer Louis Robert Werner around the late 19th century. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the subject in a formal pose, dressed in a suit and bowtie, leaning on a decorative chair. This small-format portrait, measuring 84 mm by 51 mm, is characteristic of the popular carte-de-visite style of portrait photography prevalent in the 19th century. Werner, known for his studio portraits, likely captured this subject during a brief sitting. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the era, showcasing the clothing and posture expected of gentlemen during that period.
