Portret van Adolphe Duchesne before 1876

This is a portrait of Adolphe Duchesne, a French actor, printed in the *Paris-Théâtre* magazine before 1876. The image is a black and white photograph of Duchesne, likely taken by Étienne Carjat, a well-known photographer of the time. The portrait is framed by an elaborate, ornate border typical of the 19th-century, which features decorative flourishes and cherubs, representing the themes of theatre and performance. This type of portrait, often published in magazines or newspapers, served to disseminate the image of a prominent figure in the arts to a wider audience.
