Portret van een onbekende hooggeplaatste militair van de Koninklijke Militaire Academie in Breda before 1899

This photograph by P. Stutz, taken before 1899, depicts an unidentified high-ranking military official of the Royal Military Academy in Breda, Netherlands. The photograph was likely taken for an official publication, possibly the "Cadetten-Almanak 1899," a publication for the academy which is shown open on the right page of the image. The official is shown in formal military dress with medals and regalia. The photograph is a portrait, capturing the man's serious expression and dignified bearing. It is likely that the photograph was intended to showcase the official's status and authority.
