This 19th-century photograph, titled "Portret van een staande man met hoge hoed in de hand bij een stoel, aangeduid als D[.] Jenner," is a classic example of a formal portrait. Taken by the Ghémar Frères studio, it depicts a man in a dark suit, standing next to a chair with a top hat in his hand. The simple background and direct gaze of the subject contribute to the traditional nature of the photograph, which is likely a commissioned portrait intended to capture the sitter's likeness and social status. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the photographic practices of the 19th century and the changing social conventions surrounding portraiture.
