Jongen en meisje met ontbloot bovenlijf before 1899

"Jongen en meisje met ontbloot bovenlijf" is a photogravure by Robert Demachy, a prominent figure in Pictorialism, a photographic movement emphasizing artistic expression. This small-scale work, created before 1899, depicts a boy and girl embracing, their upper bodies exposed, emphasizing the naturalism and soft tonality typical of Demachy's style. The work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the aesthetic ideals of Pictorialism, striving to elevate photography to the level of fine art.
