Portret van een man 1850 - 1880

"Portret van een man" is a portrait photograph created by Dutch photographer Godfried de Jong between 1850 and 1880. The image depicts a man in formal attire, likely a well-to-do individual from the 19th century. The portrait captures the sitter’s dignified expression and is characteristic of the photographic style popular during this period, highlighting the rise of the middle class and the need for personal documentation. The photograph's small dimensions suggest it may have been a carte de visite, a common format in the mid-19th century.
