This anonymous portrait, dating from 1860-1880, depicts Albrecht, Duke of Teschen, in military uniform. The small, yet striking, photograph features a formal pose, highlighting the subject's noble bearing and status. The use of a plain background focuses attention solely on the Duke, making this a classic portrait of an important figure in Habsburg history. While the artist remains unknown, the photograph offers a glimpse into 19th-century portraiture practices, using a straightforward approach to capture the Duke’s likeness. The image measures a mere 83mm by 52mm, indicating its potential use as a personal memento or a small-scale reproduction.
