Portret van een onbekende Groningse student in maskeradekostuum 1886 - 1897

This cabinet card portrait, taken by Dutch photographer Berend Mulder between 1886 and 1897, captures a young man from Groningen dressed in a masquerade costume. The subject, likely a student, is seated in a formal pose, holding a sword and wearing a feathered hat, a lace collar, and a long coat. The backdrop and the subject's attire suggest a historical setting, perhaps a theatrical performance or a student costume party. This small-scale portrait is a charming glimpse into the life of a young man in the Netherlands, providing a window into the traditions and social events of the period.
