Portret van de schilder Frans Vinck 1866

This 1866 carte de visite, a popular format for photographic portraits in the 19th century, captures Frans Vinck, a painter, in a formal pose. The anonymous photographer has captured Vinck with a stern expression, his arms crossed, and his beard neatly trimmed.
