Portret van Eugène Spuller before 1880

This black and white photograph, *Portret van Eugène Spuller*, is a portrait of the French politician Eugène Spuller. It was created by the renowned French photographer Etienne Carjat, a master of the Carte de Visite format, in the late 19th century. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures Spuller in a seated pose, his gaze directed towards the viewer. The image showcases Carjat’s ability to render a sense of realism and detail, making it a prime example of the 19th-century photographic portrait genre.
