Portret van een onbekende Groningse student in maskeradekostuum 1896 - 1900

This cabinet card photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Jan Frederik Blöte between 1896 and 1900, depicts an unknown student from Groningen in a masquerade costume. The student poses in a seated position, wearing a traditional, ornate costume with a distinctive cap. The image's composition and details suggest a formal portrait intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento of a student celebration or event. This portrait, with its elegant attire and formal setting, captures the spirit of student life in late 19th century Groningen.
