Portret van een onbekende man, mogelijk P.H. Enkelaar, kruidenier in Utrecht 1880 - 1890

This portrait, likely depicting P.H. Enkelaar, a grocer from Utrecht, was created by Lodewijk Hendrikus Serré between 1880 and 1890. Serré, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century, captured the sitter's likeness in a formal, studio setting, showcasing the prevailing photographic trends of the era. The image's small dimensions and the simple composition are characteristic of carte de visite, a popular format for portraits in the 19th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of an ordinary individual during a time of significant social and technological change in the Netherlands.
