AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Bedouins of the Desert", a very beautiful vintage silver gelatin print from the era, selenium-toned (warm color shift), large format, in very good condition with preserved contrasts, grayscale nuances and levels of detail from TTB to Superb, by Alexandre Bougault.
The interest of this print lies in the fact that it is not mounted on an album leaf or stiff backing, which is rare.
Signed with a dry stamp in the lower right corner of the print.
Worthy of framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection in good condition).
Settled in Biskra at the end of the 19th century, Alexandre Bougault opened a studio there in the heart of an oasis then frequented by European travelers. He develops a local body of work mixing 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 a palpable intensity.
