Studie van een naakt, zittend kind after 1880

"Studie van een naakt, zittend kind" is a photograph by Louis Jean-Baptiste Igout, taken after 1880. It depicts a young child seated nude, their head bowed, engaged in a seemingly private activity. The photograph captures the innocence and vulnerability of youth, presented in a simple, direct style that was characteristic of early photographic portraiture. Igout's work often focused on capturing the human form, and this image showcases his skill in capturing the subtle details and textures of the child's body. The subject's pose and expression, along with the minimalist background, convey a sense of introspection and stillness, adding to the contemplative nature of this work.
