Portret van een (vermoedelijk) Franse militair, staand in een driekwartbroek naast een stoel met een helm 1870 - 1900

This black and white photograph, taken by the photographer Paul between 1870 and 1900, depicts a French soldier in formal attire. Standing in a three-quarter pose, he is captured in a studio setting, with a chair and a helmet visible behind him. The photograph is an example of portraiture, a popular genre during this period. It highlights the importance of military service in 19th-century France and provides a glimpse into the personal lives of soldiers. The image, with its crisp detail, serves as a visual record of a specific individual and his time.
