Graftombe van Duchesse de Luynes c. 1860

This 1860 photograph by Louis-Auguste Bisson captures a marble sculpture of the Duchesse de Luynes. The image depicts a reclining figure, resting peacefully on a sculpted tomb. The detail in the sculpture's clothing and the somber lighting evoke a sense of mourning and remembrance, common themes in funerary art. Bisson was a noted photographer of the mid-19th century, known for his work in documenting sculptures and architecture.
