Portret van Adolphe Thiers 1877

This 1877 portrait of Adolphe Thiers, a French statesman, is a small but striking example of 19th century portraiture. The photograph captures Thiers in a formal setting, holding a cane and wearing a top hat. The blurred figure in the background adds a sense of depth and intrigue, leaving the viewer to wonder about the context of the portrait. This photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life and times of a prominent historical figure.
