Study before 1895

"Study" is a black and white photograph by Hemperley, created before 1895. The image features two women standing in a studio setting, likely posed in a manner evocative of Victorian portraiture. Hemperley’s use of light and shadow is noticeable, adding depth to the composition. The women’s clothing and postures suggest a formal setting, while the background hints at a studio environment. This intimate portrait, measuring 159 mm in height and 108 mm in width, exemplifies the careful techniques used in portrait photography during this period.
