Onbekende jonge man achter een tafel c. 1865 - 1900

This black and white photograph titled "Onbekende jonge man achter een tafel" was created between 1865 and 1900 by the Dutch artist Laurens Lodewijk Kleijn. It is a classic example of portraiture, capturing a young man seated at a table in a studio setting. Kleijn, known for his portraits and landscapes, uses a simple composition to focus the viewer's attention on the subject. The photograph is a negative image, resulting in a reversed and light-on-dark composition. The subject is rendered in high detail, his facial expressions visible despite the unusual photographic technique. The photograph is a unique glimpse into the life and work of a young man during the late 19th century.
