The Madame B Album c. 1870s

"The Madame B Album" is a sepia-toned photograph by French artist Marie-Blanche Hennelle Fournier, dating back to the 1870s. The image captures a serene winter scene, showcasing a snowy forest with a lone fox traversing the path. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the subtle textures of the snow-laden trees and the delicate brushstrokes that create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This photograph, part of a larger album, likely reflects Fournier's interest in capturing the beauty of the natural world. It is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
