Portret van Nicolas Fish II en een reproductie van een schilderij van een portret van Lysius Salomon, president van Haïti before 1885

This anonymous portrait depicts Nicolas Fish II and a reproduction of a portrait of Lysius Salomon, President of Haiti. The artwork is a black and white photograph of two separate portraits. It was created sometime before 1885, and measures 411 mm in height and 302 mm in width. The portraits were likely intended to be used in a publication and thus are presented in a formal style. The portrait of Nicolas Fish II is cropped at the shoulders and includes detail in his facial features and attire. The portrait of Lysius Salomon features him in a military uniform and is cropped from the waist up, with a background of a garden scene. The portraits give a glimpse into the political and social scene of Haiti during the late 19th century.
