Portret van een onbekende man 1873 - 1876

"Portret van een onbekende man" (Portrait of an Unknown Man) is a portrait photograph by Wilhelm Nestler, a German artist known for his portraiture. Created between 1873 and 1876, the work depicts a man in a formal suit, his face slightly turned towards the viewer. The image is a classic example of 19th-century portrait photography, with a focus on capturing the sitter's likeness and a sense of realism. The photograph's small dimensions, measuring 105mm in height and 63mm in width, suggest that it might have been a personal portrait or a part of a larger series. Nestler's work is known for its attention to detail and realistic depictions, characteristics that are evident in "Portret van een onbekende man".
