Portret van een onbekende man Possibly 1857

"Portret van een onbekende man," created by Johann Peter Berghaus in 1857, is a striking example of a portrait from the mid-19th century. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts an unknown man seated, holding a document in his hand, capturing the detailed features of the sitter with remarkable precision. The composition emphasizes the subject's attire and expression, conveying a sense of formality and intelligence, perhaps alluding to the man's profession or social standing.
