Portret van Louis Davids 1900 - 1940

This anonymous portrait of Louis Davids, a Dutch singer and comedian, is a classic example of early 20th-century portrait photography. Taken sometime between 1900 and 1940, the photograph captures Davids in a formal pose, dressed in a suit and tie. The soft lighting and focus on his face create a sense of intimacy and realism, highlighting Davids's distinctive features. The photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the enduring power of portraiture to capture a moment in time and preserve a person's likeness.
