Portret van een onbekende jonge herder op een heuvel before 1899

"Portret van een onbekende jonge herder op een heuvel" is a small, black and white photographic portrait by Alexis Mazourine (1846-1918), depicting a young shepherd standing on a hillside. This work, which measures only 122 mm high and 90 mm wide, was likely taken before 1899. Mazourine, a well-known photographer of the late 19th century, often used techniques of the pictorialist movement. This photograph is likely a study, as Mazourine was well-known for his photographic works of the natural world, particularly in landscapes, and he used these studies as the basis of his larger works. This photograph is a testament to the skill of Mazourine in using the medium of photography as an art form.
