Portret van een staande man met boek in de hand 1860 - 1900

This is a portrait of a man, likely a gentleman of some social standing, holding a book in his hand. The photograph, taken by Ernst Schroeter between 1860-1900, shows the subject standing formally in a studio setting. The portrait style reflects the conventions of the time, with the man’s attire and pose suggesting a sense of formality and perhaps even importance.
