Portret van een onbekende jonge man 1873 - 1883

This is a portrait of an unknown young man, captured by Huijsen & Zoon, a photography studio operating in the Netherlands between 1873 and 1883. The photograph is a classic example of a carte de visite, a small portrait format popular in the mid-19th century. The subject, clad in a formal suit, gazes directly at the viewer, reflecting the studio’s aim to capture the sitter’s likeness with precision. The oval framing adds a touch of formality and classicism to the image, typical of the genre.
