AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Young Berber of Biskra", a very beautiful portrait by Alexandre Bougault (late 19th/early 20th century).
Superb vintage silver print in very good condition, loose (not mounted, rare), and with excellent preservation of contrasts, grayscale nuances, and levels of detail.
Based 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 blending 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.
Worth an ornate frame.
Small PR conservatoire, not to be missed.
Will be shipped with its pouch and its neutral pH cardboard support (ideal for a collection in good condition).
