Adolphe Giraudon's "Twee reliëfs van de Fontaine des Innocents te Parijs, voorstellende twee vrouwen met waterkruiken" is a pair of photographic prints depicting two bas-relief sculptures from the Fontaine des Innocents in Paris. The figures, both women in flowing drapery, appear to be carrying water pitchers, a detail that is common in many representations of women in art. The sculptures are likely from the 16th century, and Giraudon's photographic reproductions are a testament to his skill in documenting the art and architecture of his time. These photographs would have been widely distributed, bringing these important works of art to a wider audience.
