Portret van een jonge man, staand bij een trapleuning 1872 - 1900

This is a formal portrait of a young man, captured by Swedish photographer Frans Edvard Arvidsson between 1872 and 1900. The subject is posed against a backdrop reminiscent of an interior, perhaps a grand staircase. His attire is meticulously formal, suggesting a man of means and social standing in the late 19th century. Arvidsson's work often focused on portraiture and this piece, with its precise detail and refined composition, exemplifies his mastery of the genre. The photograph, measuring 139 mm in height and 98 mm in width, reveals Arvidsson's skill in capturing both the outward appearance and the inner essence of his subject.
