This portrait of Professor Dr. W. Banning was taken by Johannes Laurens Theodorus Huijsen, a Dutch photographer known for his portraits, landscapes, and architectural images. The formal composition and crisp details, typical of Huijsen's style, highlight Banning's serious demeanor and scholarly persona. The image, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph is a valuable document of Dutch society during this period and reflects the artistic trends of the time.
