Portret van Ernesto Nicolini 1861 - 1872

This carte de visite, a popular form of portraiture in the 19th century, captures Ernesto Nicolini, likely a prominent figure of the time. Created by the photography studio Carjat et Cie, the image showcases Nicolini in a formal pose, his attire and posture suggesting his social standing. The photograph's small size, typical of carte de visites, allowed for easy sharing and collection, making it a valuable snapshot of a bygone era. The image is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the photographic practices and social customs of the 1860s and 1870s.
