Portret van een man Possibly 1887 - 1899

This portrait photograph, "Portret van een man," was taken by Antonius Joannes van der Stok, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century. The image captures a man in a formal pose, with his face and chest filling the frame. The subject is likely a member of the upper class, dressed in a suit with a bowtie and a pocket square. The image itself is a testament to van der Stok's skill in capturing detail and creating a sense of realism within the constraints of the small format, making it a valuable piece of Dutch photographic history. The portrait, currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the formal portraiture style prevalent during the late 19th century in the Netherlands.
