Portret van een onbekende jongen in matrozenpak 1892 - 1913

This portrait photograph, taken by Adolphe Zimmermans, captures an unknown boy dressed in a sailor suit. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Zimmermans' mastery of photographic portraiture, capturing the boy's youthful charm and innocence. The image likely dates from between 1892 and 1913, a period during which portrait photography became increasingly popular. The small size of the photograph suggests it may have been intended as a personal memento or a keepsake for the boy's family. This image is a poignant glimpse into the lives of ordinary Dutch citizens in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
