Portret van Alfred Plocq before 1893

This small, anonymous portrait of Alfred Plocq, created before 1893, is a fine example of a formal portrait. The subject is depicted in a simple, direct manner, highlighting his features and attire. The image, a black and white photograph, was likely taken for a publication, as it appears within a book's binding. It's a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture a person's likeness for posterity.
