Portret van een man, staand bij een stoel 1863 - 1866

"Portret van een man, staand bij een stoel" is a black and white portrait photograph by Joseph Maes created between 1863 and 1866. The image depicts a man standing with his right hand resting on a chair. He is dressed in a suit and tie, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. The photograph is a classic example of the portraiture genre common in the 19th century. The small size of the photograph suggests it was likely intended as a personal memento, possibly a carte de visite. Maes, a Belgian photographer, was active in the second half of the 19th century and was known for his portrait work.
