Portret van admiraal David Farragut before 1869

This carte de visite portrait of Admiral David Farragut was created by American photographer Napoleon Sarony before 1869. Farragut is shown in his naval uniform, seated with his arms crossed, looking directly at the viewer. The image is a classic example of 19th-century portraiture, capturing Farragut’s stern yet confident expression, a characteristic of his leadership during the Civil War. The small size and simple composition are typical of the carte de visite format, which was popular for sharing portraits in the mid-19th century.
