Portret van een onbekende jongen op en grasveld, op de achtergrond een muziektent c. 1865 - 1900

This is a glass negative photograph by Dutch photographer Laurens Lodewijk Kleijn, dating back to between 1865 and 1900. The image depicts an unidentified boy standing in a grassy field with a gazebo in the background. The image is a reversed negative, meaning the image appears in reverse, and is characteristic of 19th-century photographic processes. It offers a glimpse into the everyday life of a young boy in the Netherlands during this period. The subject's pose and the backdrop of the gazebo suggest the boy is likely on a leisurely outing or a special occasion. This photograph is an interesting example of early photography and its ability to capture everyday life with great detail.
