Portret van een man 1860 - 1894

"Portret van een man" (Portrait of a man) is a 19th-century photograph by the Ghémar Frères, a pair of Belgian photographers known for their portraiture. This small-format, studio-style portrait captures a man in a formal pose, his hand resting on a chair, likely a prop used by the photographers. The crisp details of the clothing and the subtle lighting suggest that this photograph was taken for a specific occasion, perhaps a family portrait or a business card. The image is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent art museum in Amsterdam, showcasing the breadth of photographic art.
