Portret van een onbekende jongen, aangeduid als D. Boon 1883 - 1910

Johannes Laurens Theodorus Huijsen, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th and early 20th century, captured this portrait of an unknown boy, identified only as D. Boon, between 1883 and 1910. The portrait showcases the boy standing beside an elaborate stone pillar with a detailed carving. He is dressed in a suit, a popular fashion for young boys at the time, and holds a straw hat in his right hand, a symbol of leisure and the transition to a less formal social setting. This photograph, a relic of the past, provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of Dutch individuals during this period, offering a valuable insight into their fashion, social customs, and personal expressions.
