Portret van een jongen, leunend op een balustrade 1850 - 1900

This black and white photograph, "Portret van een jongen, leunend op een balustrade," by C. von Boeckmann, captures the likeness of a young boy, likely from a well-to-do family, in the late 19th century. The boy, wearing a suit, stands confidently, leaning against a balustrade, exuding an air of gentility. The image's small dimensions, 81 mm by 52 mm, suggest it was a personal portrait, perhaps intended for family members. The photograph, likely created using the wet collodion process, showcases the developing art of photography in the mid to late 19th century.
