Portret van William Purdie Dickson before 1891

This anonymous portrait of William Purdie Dickson, a Scottish physician and naturalist, dates from before 1891. Dickson is depicted in formal attire, seated in a chair, with a serious expression. The photograph's small size, 196 mm in height and 145 mm in width, suggests it was likely created for personal use. The portrait is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the life of a prominent 19th-century figure.
