"Portret van Pierre-Gattan Leymarie, een onbekende man en de geest van Edouard Poiret" is a spirit photograph by French artist Édouard Isidore Buguet. The image shows two men, with the figure on the left identified as Pierre-Gattan Leymarie, while the figure on the right is supposedly the spirit of Edouard Poiret. This work is considered a prime example of spiritualist photography popular in the 19th century, when photography was being experimented with and the paranormal was a popular topic of discussion. The image's visual quality and the way the figures appear in the photograph suggests the artist was attempting to capture a moment of interaction between the physical world and the spirit world.
