Portret van Dr. Léon Hendrix before 1909

This is a portrait of Dr. Leon Hendrix, an anonymous work dating before 1909. The small, black and white photograph captures a bust-length view of the doctor, in a formal pose. Dr. Hendrix is dressed in a suit and tie, and has a thick, white beard. He is looking off to the side, in a contemplative gaze. The image is likely a snapshot of the doctor, taken for the purpose of publication in a medical journal or biography. This intimate portrait, capturing a moment of the doctor's life, is a snapshot of a prominent figure in Belgian medical history.
