Portret van een zittende man 1859 - 1870

This portrait photograph, titled "Portret van een zittende man," was created by Eduard Fuchs between 1859 and 1870. The small size of the image, measuring just 85 mm in height and 53 mm in width, suggests it may have been a cabinet card, a popular format for photographic portraits during the 19th century. The image shows a seated man, formally dressed in a suit and tie, looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. The subject's posture and clothing convey a sense of formality and respectability, typical of portraiture from this period. The photograph is a poignant example of the rise of photography as a popular art form, capturing individual identities and documenting personal lives in the mid-19th century.
