A refined portrait of a man with a short beard and a calm gaze, photographed around 1885 by H. Eckert , court and chamber photographer at the Imperial Court in Prague ( Cæs. Reg. Aulæ et Cameræ Photographus ). The minimalist background and soft lighting emphasize the character of the subject — a contemporary from the cultural heyday of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The reverse bears a beautiful print of royal arms and emblems, symbolizing the prestige Eckert enjoyed as a court supplier to the Habsburg elite.
