Cheval de Marly, Paris 1934

German photographer Ilse Bing captured the "Cheval de Marly" sculpture in Paris in 1934. The black and white photograph is notable for its striking composition. The sculptural detail of the winged horse stands out sharply against the blurred background, creating a strong sense of depth. The softened light and subtle shadows, typical of Bing's style, highlight the monument's texture and create a sense of quiet contemplation. This iconic Parisian landmark, originally a fountain by sculptor Guillaume Coustou, is depicted in Bing's signature modernist aesthetic, showcasing her technical mastery and artistic vision.
