Portret van een jongen 1860 - 1880

This portrait photograph of a young man, titled "Portret van een jongen," was taken by the photographic duo Woodbury & Page between 1860 and 1880 and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The photograph, measuring only 91 mm in height and 56 mm in width, captures the subject in a traditional head-and-shoulders pose. The subject is dressed in a patterned shirt and a patterned cap, suggesting he might be from a region where this type of headwear is customary. The photograph's detail and composition give us a glimpse into the photographic practices of the 19th century.
