Portret van een jongeman 1903 - 1940

"Portret van een jongeman" (Portrait of a Young Man), created between 1903 and 1940 by Dutch artist Jan van Roon, is a small-scale portrait of an unidentified young man. The photograph captures the subject in a formal pose, wearing a suit and tie, with a serious expression. The black and white image is characteristic of photographic portraits of the early 20th century, reflecting the prevalent style of the time. The photograph’s small size (81 mm x 50 mm) suggests it may have been a personal portrait or part of a larger photographic album. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a young man during this historical period and stands as a testament to van Roon’s skill as a photographer.
