Portret van een onbekende Khas man uit Nepal before 1868

This portrait of an unknown Khas man from Nepal was taken by British photographer Benjamin Simpson before 1868. The photograph is part of a series documenting the diverse ethnicities of Nepal, particularly focusing on the dominant Gorkha tribe. The image captures the subject in a simple pose against a plain background, showcasing his traditional clothing and features. This work exemplifies the practice of portraiture within early photography, contributing to anthropological documentation and visual representation of cultures.
