Portret van een onbekende geestelijke 1886 - 1906

This cabinet card photograph, titled "Portret van een onbekende geestelijke," was created by Max Büttinghausen, a Dutch photographer known for his portraits and landscapes, between 1886 and 1906. The image depicts an unidentified clergyman, dressed in his clerical robes, standing next to a carved wooden cabinet. Büttinghausen captures the man's dignified presence with sharp detail and a soft tone, characteristic of 19th-century portrait photography. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life and appearance of a religious figure during this period.
