Portret van een onbekende man c. 1892 - 1906

This portrait photograph, created by Johannes Baer between 1892 and 1906, features an unknown man in a formal pose, captured in the classic style of 19th-century portraiture. The man, likely a member of the Dutch upper class, appears dignified in his suit and bow tie, his expression reserved and composed. This work is a fine example of the photographic portraiture popular during this era, held today in the Rijksmuseum. The image showcases Baer's skilled use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and detail in the subject.
