"Portret van een onbekende man" (Portrait of an Unknown Man) is an anonymous black and white engraving, dated before 1897. The artwork depicts the portrait of a man from the BOKOTO tribe of Central Africa. The man is depicted with a serious expression, wearing a necklace of beads, and his face is marked with tribal tattoos. The image is part of a larger work, likely a book or journal, that documented the customs and cultures of various tribes in Central Africa. The engraving is significant because it provides a glimpse into the appearance of the BOKOTO people during this period.
