Portret van een man met baard 1866 - 1884

Albert Delabarre, a Belgian photographer, created this carte de visite portrait of an unidentified man with a beard, in the 1860s. The small, formal portrait, typical of the genre, captures the sitter’s stern gaze and is characteristic of portrait photography during the 19th century. The ornate frame of the portrait suggests a sense of refinement and underscores the importance of the image to its owner.
