Studioportret van een man met bakkebaarden en een grote strik c. 1863 - 1866

This is a carte-de-visite portrait of a man, likely taken between 1863-1866 by photographer I.H. Hoffmeister. The man is dressed in a dark suit with a bow tie and has sideburns, a common style for men during that period. The photograph exhibits typical qualities of 19th-century portraiture: clear focus on the subject, formal pose, and an uncluttered background, highlighting the individual's presence. Carte-de-visite portraits, measuring approximately 2.5 inches by 4 inches, were popular throughout the 19th century as a way for individuals to share their likeness with family and friends.
