Portret van Léon Ducoudray before 1875

This is a portrait of Léon Ducoudray, a 19th-century figure in the Catholic Church, likely a priest or friar, as indicated by his clerical attire. The image, a black and white photograph, shows a close-up portrait with a neutral expression. This format was typical for portrait photography during the 19th century, used for official documentation or personal commemoration. The artist is unknown but the photograph was likely made before 1875. The detail of the subject's attire and the overall composition of the photograph provide insight into the religious culture and photographic trends of the period.
