Portret van J.B. Aug. Kessler 1890 - 1910

This formal portrait, "Portret van J.B. Aug. Kessler," was created by Adolphe Zimmermans, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th and early 20th century. The photograph showcases Kessler in a traditional pose, dressed in a suit with a bow tie, and features a high level of detail in the subject's facial expression and attire. Zimmermans' work often captured individuals in their natural settings, highlighting the personal stories of his subjects. This portrait, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies his focus on portraiture. The photograph's grainy texture, a result of the photographic process, adds to its historical significance and artistic value.
