Portret van Johannes Hubertus Cornelius Lisman c. 1848

"Portret van Johannes Hubertus Cornelius Lisman" is a daguerreotype, a photographic process popular in the mid-19th century. The anonymous artist captured Johannes Lisman, likely a young man of the time, in a formal portrait setting. The daguerreotype's small size and the subject's seated posture, with his hands resting in his lap, were typical conventions of the genre. The image, housed in a simple frame, offers a glimpse into the clothing and appearance of men in 19th-century Netherlands, making it a valuable historical document.
