AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22 x 28 cm.
"Young weaver from Biskra", a very beautiful gelatin silver print, in very good condition, with preserved contrasts, grayscale nuances and levels of detail from Very Good to Superb, by Alexandre Bougault.
The interest of this photograph is that it is not mounted on a page of an album or on a cardboard support, which is rare.
Deserves framing.
Shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection under good conditions).
Settled in Biskra at the end of the 19th century, Alexandre Bougault opened a workshop there in the heart of an oasis then very frequented by European travelers. He develops a local production blending portraits, religious figures and scenes of daily life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober framings, soft light, and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics and textures, giving his subjects an embodied intensity.
