Portret van een jongeman 1861 - 1887

"Portret van een jongeman" is a portrait of a young man, created by Albert Greiner between 1861 and 1887. The photograph, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young man in formal attire, wearing a bow tie and a suit, with a serious expression. The image, presented in an oval frame, was likely taken for personal use and is a prime example of the portraiture style popular during the 19th century. The use of a formal setting and subdued lighting conveys a sense of solemnity and dignity. The artwork is a testament to the evolving nature of portraiture as it shifted from traditional painting to photography.
