Portret van een (vermoedelijk) Nederlandse militair c. 1861 - 1874

This carte-de-visite photograph by Albert Greiner, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century, portrays a presumed Dutch military officer in uniform. The photograph is framed in a gold-embellished oval, a popular style in the mid-19th century, and was likely intended for personal use or as a memento. Greiner's work often captured portraits of individuals from various social classes, reflecting the growing popularity of photography as a means of documentation and personal expression during this time. This image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people in 19th-century Netherlands.
