Alfred Stieglitz's 1911 photograph "Paard voor een wagen, Parijs" depicts a horse and cart driver in a Parisian street, highlighting the gritty realism of early 20th-century urban life. Stieglitz, a prominent figure in Pictorialism, captured the everyday working class with a focus on composition and tone, showcasing the beauty in the mundane. This photo, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Stieglitz's innovative approach to photography, blending artistic vision with social commentary.
