AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Oasis de Biskra", very beautiful portrait of two young village girls from Biskra attributed to Alexandre Bougault (XIX).
Very beautiful vintage gelatin-silver print, in very good condition, unmounted (not mounted, rare), and with excellent preservation of contrasts, grayscale nuances and levels of detail.
Slight toner toward selenium salts (warm colors).

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

Small PR conservatoire, not to be missed.

Will be shipped with its sleeve and its neutral-pH cardboard backing (ideal for a collection in good condition).
