Portret van een onbekende jongen 1877 - 1897

This carte-de-visite portrait, "Portret van een onbekende jongen," was created between 1877 and 1897 by Dutch photographer Lodewijk Hendrikus Serré. Serré, who worked out of his studio on Nachtegaalstraat in Utrecht, captured the young boy's serious gaze in a classic oval format. This simple but effective composition, typical of the era, highlights the boy's youthful innocence and emphasizes his identity as a subject of the portrait. The black and white photograph, printed on a card, reflects the common photographic techniques of the late 19th century.
