Alexandre Bougault (XIX) - Intérieur de l'oasis de Biskra

Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Interior of the oasis of Biskra", very beautiful view by Alexandre Bougault (late 19th/early 20th century).
Superb vintage silver print from the era in very good condition, free (not mounted, rare), and a very beautiful preservation of contrasts, gray nuances and levels of detail.

Settled in Biskra at the end of the 19th century, Alexandre Bougault opened a workshop in the heart of an oasis then very frequented by European travelers. He develops a local production mixing portraits, religious figures and scenes of life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober framing, soft light and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics and textures, giving his subjects an embodied intensity.

Worth framing.
Petit PR conservatoire, not to be missed.

Will be shipped with its sleeve and its neutral pH cardboard support.
