Untitled (Portrait of Infant) 1850 - 1899

"Untitled (Portrait of Infant)" is an anonymous carte de visite photograph from the late 19th century, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The image captures a young infant lying down, gazing directly at the viewer, in a soft-focus, a style typical of portrait photography of the time. The infant's white garment and the simple background create a timeless quality, highlighting the innocence and vulnerability of childhood.
