This 19th-century carte de visite by Juan Laurent depicts a man dressed in Spanish attire, potentially a bullfighter. The photograph's small dimensions and intimate portrait style are characteristic of the genre, which gained popularity for sharing personal images during this period. The subject's pose and costume, along with the use of a plain background, highlight his figure and the details of his attire. The image, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the fashion and cultural trends of 19th-century Spain.
