Portret van een jongen verkleed als soldaat, zittend op een hobbelpaard 1880 - 1920

This sepia-toned photograph, taken by the Gebruder Genesius studio sometime between 1880 and 1920, captures a young boy dressed as a soldier riding a rocking horse. The image, likely a studio portrait, showcases the popularity of this playful subject matter in 19th and early 20th century portraiture. The photograph's small size, measuring 86 mm by 54 mm, suggests it was likely a personal memento. The boy's attire, with his cap and uniform, adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. This photograph provides a glimpse into childhood portraiture during a period when capturing special moments in life was gaining popularity.
