Portret van een onbekende jonge man c. 1870 - 1890

"Portret van een onbekende jonge man" is a black and white photograph by Dutch photographer Maurits Verveer, dating from 1870-1890 and held in the Rijksmuseum. The photograph depicts a young man in a formal pose, wearing a dark jacket, white shirt, and a tie. The image's subdued tones and simple composition are characteristic of early photography, where portraiture often focused on capturing a sitter's likeness with technical precision. While the subject's identity remains unknown, the photograph provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary individuals during the late 19th century.
