Portret van een onbekende man met snor 1861 - 1874

This 19th-century carte de visite portrait, created between 1861 and 1874, depicts an unknown man with a mustache. The photograph, which was taken by the Dutch photographer Albert Greiner, captures the sitter in a formal pose, wearing a suit and bow tie. This intimate portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popularity of cartes de visite, a form of portrait photography that gained widespread appeal in the mid-19th century. The small size and oval format of the carte de visite made it easily shareable and collectible, allowing individuals to share their likenesses with friends and family.
