AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 21x27 cm.
"Remparts et minaret", very beautiful view by Alexandre Bougault (late 19th/early 20th century).
Superb gelatin silver print on wove paper, toned with gold chloride, in very good condition, loose (not mounted, rare), and a very fine preservation of contrasts, gold tones and levels of detail.
Signed with a dry stamp in the bottom right corner, hand-captioned on the back.
Will be shipped with its neutral-pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition).
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 mixing portraits, religious figures and scenes of daily life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober compositions, soft light and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics and textures, giving his subjects an embodied intensity.
Deserves framing.
Petit PR conservatoire, not to be missed.
