Portret van een rooms-katholieke aanspreker uit Amsterdam, Noord-Holland 1860 - 1890

This portrait, created by Andries Jager between 1860 and 1890, depicts a Roman Catholic undertaker from Amsterdam, Netherlands. The photograph, now held at the Rijksmuseum, captures the undertaker in a formal pose, dressed in traditional attire, including a long black coat, a tall hat with a plume, and black shoes. The man holds a document in his left hand, perhaps related to his profession. The image offers a glimpse into the attire and customs of a specific occupation in 19th-century Amsterdam. The photograph, a type of portrait photography, was popular in the 19th century and served to document individuals and their professions for posterity.
