Portret van een onbekende man 1850 - 1860

"Portret van een onbekende man" is a daguerreotype portrait of an unknown man, created by Robert H. Vance between 1850 and 1860. The image captures the man in a formal pose, wearing a dark jacket and a light shirt with a bow tie, his expression is solemn, and his gaze seems to meet the viewer's directly. The daguerreotype is presented in a classic gold frame with a patterned border, enhancing the sense of formality and historical significance. This small-scale portrait reflects the popularity of daguerreotypes in the 19th century, particularly for capturing likenesses of individuals.
