Anonyme: family portrait in the garden, France ca. 1880
A very strong family portrait!
The unknown but skilled photographed made beautifully arranged composition. The man, a French officer, looks happily at his two children and wife. His sits on a garden chair holding a piece of paper, maybe a letter. The very well dressed woman stands at the top of the stairs. The children are flanked by their parents in this strong composition with an interesting interaction between all people.
The uncut albumen pint has a beautiful and very deep tonality. The edges are uneven and slightly wrinkled at some places, not affecting the image. The print was made after a glass negative.
Another print from the same provenance was photographed in Tours, France.
ca. 20,5 x 14,2 cm
