"Portret van een onbekende jongen met een witte strik om arm" is a carte de visite photograph by Jules Delsart, a Belgian photographer active in the late 19th century. The photograph, dating between 1863 and 1885, depicts a young boy in a formal suit, standing with his hand on a small table. The boy's clothing and the ornate table suggest that the image was taken in a studio, a common practice for portrait photography during the mid-19th century. The photograph's small size and the inscription on the bottom, "Delsart Photo", further confirm its origins as a carte de visite, a format popular for sharing portraits during this period. The subject's identity remains unknown, highlighting the anonymous nature of many cartes de visite, which were often used for personal documentation or as keepsakes.
