Studioportret van man met stropdas, buste 1880 - 1920

This studio portrait of a man, likely taken by Dutch photographer Andries Hermanus van Dijk, is a fine example of the early 20th century photographic portrait. The sitter is dressed in a suit, a formal attire common to studio portraits of the time. The photo's sharp focus on the sitter's face, combined with the subdued lighting and plain background, enhances a sense of formality. The photographer's signature in the lower right corner identifies this as a product of his work in Amsterdam, marking this piece as part of a broader artistic context. While the exact identity of the sitter remains unknown, the photograph offers a glimpse into the photographic practices of the early 20th century.
