Mrs. Alice Raphael 1890s

"Mrs. Alice Raphael" is a portrait photograph taken by French photographer Aimé Dupont in the 1890s. The work features a young woman with a soft expression, her hand resting on her chin, and her hair adorned with decorative bows. The sitter is framed within an elaborate, ornately-designed oval, enhancing the formal and elegant nature of the image. This photograph is an excellent example of the portraiture work of Aimé Dupont, which often showcased the beauty and refinement of his sitters, particularly women and children. The piece is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
