Portret van een man, aangeduid als Kraayentrof 1860 - 1870

This small-scale portrait, "Portret van een man, aangeduid als Kraayentrof," is a work by Dutch artist Abraham Adrianus Vermeulen, dated between 1860 and 1870. It depicts a man, likely named Kraayentrof, dressed in formal attire and captured in a studio setting. The photo, now residing in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Vermeulen's skill in capturing the sitter's likeness, offering a glimpse into the life of an individual from mid-19th century Netherlands. The use of black and white photography, a common medium during this era, emphasizes the sitter's facial features, adding a sense of timelessness to the piece.
