Portret van een onbekende man 1897

"Portret van een onbekende man" is a small, 1897 portrait photograph by Dutch photographer Jacobus Cornelis Kuijper (1852-1924). The photograph, measuring 104 mm in height and 64 mm in width, features a man in a suit and bow tie. Kuijper was a well-known photographer in the Netherlands, particularly known for his portraits. This photograph, while modest in size, captures a glimpse into the personal style and fashion of the late 19th century. The subject's reserved expression and formal attire suggest a portrait intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento or a family record.
