Portret van een man met baard en bril 1863 - 1875

This is a portrait of a man with a beard and glasses, captured in a photograph taken between 1863 and 1875. The work is attributed to the studio of G. and R. Lavis, and is a good example of 19th-century portraiture. The photo's small size, only 84mm by 53mm, suggests it may have been a personal keepsake or a studio sample. The subject's formal attire, with a dark coat and patterned tie, speaks to the tradition of portrait photography as a means of recording social status and individuality during this period.
