Portret van een onbekende klerk, aangeduid als Mr. F. Jespers Possibly 1871 - 1878

"Portret van een onbekende klerk, aangeduid als Mr. F. Jespers" is a carte de visite portrait of an unknown man by Dutch photographer Willem van der Worp, dated between 1871 and 1878. The man is seated, leaning on a table with a book on top, his face turned slightly away from the camera, giving the portrait a contemplative feel. The image demonstrates the typical style of portrait photography in the 19th century with a simple composition and a focus on capturing the subject's likeness. The small size of the photograph, typical of the carte de visite format, makes it a personal portrait that likely would have been given as a gift or shared with friends and family.
