Zelfportret van Eduard Isaac Asser c. 1854 - 1855

This 19th-century self-portrait, *Zelfportret van Eduard Isaac Asser*, depicts the Dutch jurist and art collector Eduard Isaac Asser, seated in a chair and looking directly at the viewer. The photograph is a classic example of the early daguerreotype style, capturing Asser in a formal, almost austere pose against a simple dark background. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the life of this prominent figure during the mid-19th century.
