This portrait photograph, "Portret van een onbekende man," was created by J. Siewers & Zoon, a Dutch photography studio, between 1890 and 1918. The image depicts a young man, formally dressed in a suit and tie, looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The photograph's small size (106 mm x 65 mm) suggests it was likely a cabinet card, a popular format for portrait photography in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The studio's name and location, Edam Hilversum, are prominently displayed at the bottom of the image, indicating the photograph's intended function as a commercial portrait.
