Dr. Hermann Heid (1834-1891) was born in Germany and active in Austria. He made nude studies for painters and sculptors during his career. His work is often mixed up with the nude studies made by Igout.

A beautiful image with a rather unusual composition. The studio prop in the background is an interesting detail.

The unmounted albumen print is in good condition. Only small traces of use, good tonality. Numbered in the lower left corner of the negative: E. 357. Heid used a code with his negative numbers that started with "E" for women and "F" for men.

Albumen print ca. 14 x 9,8 cm
