"Portret van een man" is a portrait photograph from the late 19th century, created by the duo Baldi & Würthle. The image depicts a man, likely a wealthy individual given his attire, in a formal pose. The subject's expression is solemn, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer, suggesting a sense of dignity and composure. The use of a simple background and a focus on the individual create a classic portrait style, common in the 19th century. The small size of the work, measuring only 87 mm x 53 mm, suggests it was likely intended for personal use.
