Portrait
of a young woman with an umbrella Autochrome on glass, 13 x 18 cm, by Clément Maurice (1853–1933) Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris |
||||||||||
| A woman stands with composed elegance before a lakeside garden backdrop, with the right edge of the frame betraying the authenticity of the scene. The muted tones and slightly grainy, pastel-like effect are characteristic of the autochrome process, and the gentle diffusion softens the formality, giving the scene a quiet, theatrical poise. |
