Portret van een geestelijke c. 1865 - 1870

This portrait of a clergyman was created by Henri Blanckart in the mid-19th century. The black and white photograph, measuring just 85 mm by 52 mm, captures the subject in a formal pose, his gaze directed towards the viewer. The image showcases Blanckart's skill in capturing the subtle details of the subject's face, highlighting the features that define his personality and profession. While the small size of the work might seem unassuming, it provides a glimpse into the artistry of portraiture during this period, where photographers like Blanckart began to explore the nuances of human expression.
