Untitled 1857

"Untitled" is a calotype photograph taken by Gustave Le Gray in 1857. The photograph depicts a group of men on horseback, likely in a military formation, with a larger group of people standing in the background. The scene is likely a parade or inspection, capturing a moment of military life in the mid-19th century. Le Gray was a pioneer in the field of photography, known for his use of the calotype process and his landscape photography. His work is notable for its sharp detail and subtle tonality, which are evident in this piece. The photograph is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
