Portret van een man in militair uniform met sabel en vuurwapen c. 1860 - 1876

This carte-de-visite portrait, created by Eugène Guérin between 1860 and 1876, depicts a man in military uniform. He is holding a saber and a firearm, likely a pistol, which were common tools of a soldier. The man's serious expression and regalia suggest that he is a high-ranking officer. The oval frame and the small size of the image are typical of the carte-de-visite format, which was popular in the mid-19th century for capturing portraits and sharing them among family and friends. This image provides a glimpse into the lives of soldiers and officers during a time of significant military activity.
