Description from the seller

This is a very beautiful and famous photograph by Robert Doisneau, a classic example of his "humanist photography," for which he became famous worldwide. The image depicts the couple Claude Mocquery and James Campbell Badiane in a "Cave" in Saint Germain des Prés in 1951. This photograph, appreciated worldwide as "the masterpiece" of Robert Doisneau, exudes the joy of living that characterized an entire artistic period of the great French photographer, and is very typical of his work, almost "the emblem" of what Doisneau intended, also spiritually, to photograph and make known to the world. This photograph measures 18.7 x 12.6 cm, is in excellent condition and is regularly stamped on the back, and it is shipped with a white passepartout.
