Femme vue de dos

ca. 1862
Not on view
Cette photographie prise par un riche amateur, familier de la cour impériale française, est à la fois un portrait, une photographie de mode et une plaisanterie. Le chignon savamment élaboré, sans doute par une habile femme de chambre, les bijoux discrets et les tissus luxueux sont les attributs d’une femme de haut rang très « comme il faut ». L’identité de cette dernière intrigue, mais importe moins, en définitive, que l’aura de mystère qu’elle dégage. Une photographie complémentaire, de profil, révèle une expression troublée et un menton fuyant.
