Portret van een onbekende acteur before 1901

This portrait of an unidentified actor is a sepia-toned photograph, taken by Joseph Turner Keiley before 1901. The subject is dressed in a long coat and appears to be mid-performance, perhaps holding a prop or a weapon. The dramatic lighting and the actor's intense gaze contribute to the theatrical nature of the image. The small dimensions, measuring just 178 mm in height and 145 mm in width, suggest this may be a contact print or a study, rather than a final work.
