This black and white photograph, "Portret van E. Vroonen," was created by an unknown artist before 1898. It depicts E. Vroonen standing in a formal pose, wearing a suit and bow tie. The portrait's intimate scale, measuring just 162mm by 114mm, suggests it may have been a personal commission. The composition and lighting of the image are characteristic of the formal portraiture style popular during the late 19th century, with a focus on capturing the sitter's likeness and social status. The anonymity of the artist adds to the intrigue of this piece, leaving its specific origin and context open to interpretation.
