Portret van een onbekende protestantse aanspreker uit Amsterdam, Noord-Holland 1860 - 1890

This portrait, created between 1860 and 1890 by Dutch photographer Andries Jager, depicts an unknown Protestant "aanspreker" from Amsterdam. The photograph captures the subject in a three-quarter pose, standing with a formal expression and holding a piece of paper. The "aanspreker" was a preacher who led religious ceremonies and preached in the streets. The image showcases Jager's talent for capturing the details of clothing, including the man's long coat and the ribbon attached to his hat. The photo is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary citizens in 19th-century Amsterdam.
