Portret van een man 1867 - 1888

This portrait of an unidentified man was created by Dutch photographer Johannes Wilhelmus Franciscus Offenberg between 1867 and 1888. The image, framed in an oval and presented against a simple backdrop, exemplifies the formal style of portrait photography common in the 19th century. The subject's serious expression and the detail of his clothing suggest a well-dressed man of standing. Offenberg, a prolific photographer, captured numerous portraits during his career, providing glimpses into the lives of his contemporaries.
