A portrait of William Hunter Kendal

About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a young man in profile. He’s wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a tie pinned with a brooch. His hair is neatly combed, and he has a serious expression. The photo looks like it was taken with early camera tech—notice the slight blur and grainy texture. It’s not a painting, but a photograph from a company that made 3D images back then. If you like old photos like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
