Portret van een vrouw en een man met een pince-nez c. 1873 - 1895

This portrait, created by German photographer Max Büttinghausen around the late 19th century, captures a man and a woman in a simple, intimate setting. The man, wearing a suit and pince-nez glasses, stands beside the woman, who is adorned in a patterned blouse, their poses and gazes suggesting a sense of closeness. The photograph is a testament to Büttinghausen's skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and relationship, highlighting the intimate details of everyday life through the lens of his camera. The small size of the piece, typical of cabinet cards popular in the era, emphasizes the personal nature of the subject matter.
