Portret van een onbekende Groningse student in maskeradekostuum 1896 - 1900

This cabinet card photograph, taken between 1896 and 1900 by Dutch photographer Jan Frederik Blöte, depicts an unidentified Groningen student in a masquerade costume. The student, likely participating in a student tradition or celebration, is shown wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a ruff collar, and a richly decorated costume. The image captures the student's pose and attire, offering a glimpse into the sartorial expressions of the time. Blöte, known for his photographic work in Groningen, captured the essence of the student's festive spirit through this portrait. Cabinet cards, a popular photographic format in the late 19th century, were often used for portraits and were often displayed in homes.
