Portret van een jonge man in uniform 1860 - 1905

This small portrait photograph, likely a tintype, was created between 1860 and 1905 by Dutch photographer Jan Goedeljee. The image shows a young man in military uniform, a popular subject for portraiture during this period. The man is posed formally, his gaze directed forward. His uniform, likely from a Dutch or European army, includes a double-breasted jacket with buttons. The small size and simple composition of this photograph are characteristic of portraiture in the 19th century. This portrait is an excellent example of early photographic practices and a glimpse into the lives of ordinary individuals during the period.
