Portret van een militair c. 1864 - 1890

This is a Carte de Visite portrait of a military officer, created by the Dutch photography studio Wegner & Mottu in the late 19th century. The photograph is framed in an oval shape, common for the time, and captures the subject's stern expression in sharp detail. The officer's uniform, medals and sword are prominent, highlighting his military status. Carte de Visites were popular for collecting and sharing portraits of the time, with this one likely showcasing a proud soldier's achievements. Today it is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection of historical photography.
