Portret van Auguste Davis 1855 - 1885

This carte de visite portrait, taken by Gustave (le jeune) Touzery between 1855 and 1885, depicts Auguste Davis in a formal pose. Davis, leaning against a decorative pillar, is dressed in a dark suit with a patterned bow tie, his gaze directed at the viewer. The photograph's composition, with a chair placed to the right, emphasizes Davis's presence as the main subject. The portrait reflects the popularity of the carte de visite format in the mid-19th century for capturing and sharing personal images.
