Portret van een jongen met trommel 1890 - 1904

"Portret van een jongen met trommel" is a cabinet card portrait created by the photography studio Lietze & Schumaker sometime between 1890 and 1904. The image depicts a young boy, posed formally in a studio setting, holding a drumstick and standing next to a small drum. The portrait captures the innocence of childhood, with the boy's serious expression and neatly dressed attire, typical of the late 19th-century portraiture style. The small size of the photograph, measuring 85 mm by 52 mm, suggests it was likely intended for personal use, a cherished memento for the boy's family. Cabinet cards, a popular format in the late 19th century, provided an affordable way for families to preserve their memories.
