Portret van een man bij een bureau 1859 - 1870

This 1859-1870 portrait photograph by Eduard Fuchs depicts a man seated at a desk. The subject wears a dark suit, with his right hand resting on the table, his left hand in his lap. The image is framed in an oval with a double border. This formal portrait is a prime example of the portraiture common in the mid-19th century, likely commissioned for personal or family use.
