Mlle. Jeanne tellement tremblante que le photographe ne peut pas fixer les yeux 1854 - 1856

"Mlle. Jeanne tellement tremblante que le photographe ne peut pas fixer les yeux" is a daguerreotype, a type of photographic process, by Louis-Pierre-Théophile Dubois de Nehaut from 1854–1856. The portrait depicts a young woman, Mlle. Jeanne, seated in a chair, with a white lace cap and a white scarf over a dark dress. The daguerreotype is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The subject's nervous energy is emphasized by the title, which translates to "Miss Jeanne so trembling that the photographer cannot fix her eyes." The intricate detail of the daguerreotype, which is in the style of the era, adds to the sense of realism.
