Portret van een onbekende man 1875 - 1886

This carte de visite, created between 1875 and 1886 by the studio of Wald. Dahllöf & C: in Stockholm, features a portrait of an unidentified man. The photograph captures the subject in a formal pose, clad in a suit and tie. The man stares directly at the viewer, suggesting a sense of formality and reservedness, common in portraiture of the period. The small size and the studio stamp on the image are characteristic features of the carte de visite format, which was popular during the 19th century for sharing personal portraits.
