Portret van een onbekende jongen met handen in de zakken 1874

Constant Alexandre Famin's "Portret van een onbekende jongen met handen in de zakken" (1874) is a poignant portrait of a young boy, likely a peasant, captured in a candid moment. The photograph's composition emphasizes the boy's solemn gaze and the worn, patched clothes he wears, highlighting the realities of poverty in 19th-century Europe. Famin, known for his realist photography, captures the boy's dignity despite his circumstances, making this a compelling document of social conditions of the time.
