Portret van een jongen in uniformjas 1860 - 1900

"Portret van een jongen in uniformjas" (Portrait of a Boy in a Uniform Jacket) is a black and white photograph by Adolphe Legros, dating from 1860-1900. The image depicts a young boy, posed formally in a seated position, wearing a uniform jacket adorned with buttons. The photograph is framed by a double-bordered mat, giving the image a traditional portrait-style aesthetic. The small dimensions of the photograph (84 mm x 52 mm), suggest that this may be a cabinet card, a popular format for photographs in the late 19th century. Legros's photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a young boy during a period of significant social and political change.
