Portret van een onbekende jongen met een bril c. 1893 - 1900

"Portret van een onbekende jongen met een bril" is a cabinet card photograph, a popular format in the late 19th century, taken by Dutch photographer Adriaan Bos Jr. around 1893-1900. The image depicts a young boy in a formal outfit, possibly for a special occasion, standing in front of a potted plant and a brick wall. His serious expression and the high collar of his jacket suggest a portrait intended for a family album. The portrait captures the quiet dignity of a young boy in this era and exemplifies the style of studio photography of the late 19th century. Cabinet card photographs like this were a popular way for families to document their lives.
