AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 21x27 cm.
"Remparts et minaret", a very beautiful view by Alexandre Bougault (late 19th/early 20th century).
Gorgeous gelatin-silver print on mould-made paper, toned with gold chloride, in very good condition, loose (not mounted, rare), and with excellent preservation of contrasts, gold tones and levels of detail.
Signed with a blind stamp at bottom right, hand-captioned on the back.
Will be 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 at the heart of an oasis then very frequented by European travelers. He developed a local production blending 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.
Deserves framing.
Small conservatory PR, not to be missed.
