Portret van een onbekende man 1860 - 1880

"Portret van een onbekende man" (Portrait of an Unknown Man) is a 19th-century daguerreotype by the French artist Leroux. The photograph captures a man in a formal pose, likely taken for a family portrait or commemorative piece. The simple, intimate style of the portrait is characteristic of daguerreotypes, a popular photographic process in the mid-19th century. The oval format further highlights the subject and adds to the timeless feel of the image.
