Portret van Emanuel van Beever 1895 - 1905

This anonymous portrait of Emanuel van Beever, created sometime between 1895 and 1905, captures the sitter in a moment of contemplation. Van Beever, seated against a patterned background, holds a palette and brush, suggesting he was an artist. The sepia tones and the intimate, close-up composition create a sense of realism, typical of photographic portraiture of the late 19th century. The photograph is a valuable document of a lesser-known figure from a bygone era.
