Portret van Jules Dufaure c. 1873 - 1878

This photograph, "Portret van Jules Dufaure," was created by Antoine Samuel Adam-Salomon, a French photographer active in the 19th century, between 1873 and 1878. The portrait depicts Jules Dufaure, a prominent French politician and lawyer, in a seated pose, thoughtfully resting his hand on his chin. Adam-Salomon’s realistic style, characterized by sharp detail and a natural composition, emphasizes the subject’s personality and presence. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the photographer's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.
