Dorio 1869 - 1874

"Dorio" is a photograph created by Jeremiah Gurney in the late 19th century, depicting a woman with a serious expression. The subject wears a white lace collar and a pendant necklace. The image showcases Gurney's mastery of photographic portraiture, capturing the sitter's detailed features with a refined, almost timeless aesthetic. The small size of the photograph suggests its intimate nature and the importance of the subject to the artist. This portrait, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the burgeoning interest in photography as a form of artistic expression in the Victorian era.
