Portret van een man 1860 - 1900

This portrait of a man, created sometime between 1860 and 1900 by the artist Wardle, is a classic example of 19th-century portraiture. The subject is presented in a formal pose, with a serious expression and a neatly trimmed beard. The photograph is framed by an oval border, typical for portraits of this period, adding to its traditional aesthetic. Despite the lack of information about the artist and the subject, this small-scale photograph (103 mm x 63 mm) offers a glimpse into the photographic practices and social conventions of the time.
