This portrait photograph, created between 1871 and 1885 by Swedish photographer Bernhard Hakelier, depicts an unidentified young man.

The subject's serious expression and the crisp detail of his clothing contribute to a sense of formality. This small-format image, likely a cabinet card, would have been common during the period as a way for individuals to document their appearance and share it with friends and family.
