This anonymous tintype portrait, created in 1875 and titled *Untitled (Portrait of a Standing Man)*, depicts a Black man standing in a studio setting. He is casually dressed in a white shirt with suspenders, and his gaze meets the viewer's directly, conveying a sense of quiet dignity and strength. The tintype's faded tones and subtle detail contribute to a timeless, almost ethereal quality, making it a poignant reminder of the lives of ordinary people in the 19th century. This artifact is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
