Portret van een onbekende man, aangeduid als Jan Willem Langeler 1881 - 1887

This is a portrait of an unidentified man, possibly Jan Willem Langeler, taken by the photographer Wilhelm Ivens. The portrait, created between 1881 and 1887, is a classic example of a cabinet card photograph, a popular format in the late 19th century. The image features a formal pose and a focused composition, typical of the genre, with a focus on the subject's likeness and details of clothing. This small-scale portrait shows a man in a dark jacket, with his head turned slightly to his left, looking directly at the viewer. Ivens, a well-known photographer in Nijmegen, Netherlands, captured the subject's demeanor with clarity and detail.
