Portret van Alfred Tennyson before 1893

This portrait of Alfred Tennyson, a renowned English poet, was taken by the celebrated photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. Cameron, known for her dramatic and highly-detailed portraits, captures Tennyson's thoughtful expression and distinguished features in this photograph. This work, like many of Cameron's other portraits, embraces a soft focus and use of light to create an ethereal quality, further emphasizing the subject's gravitas. The image dates from before 1893 and measures 246 mm in height by 174 mm in width.
