Twee wandelende personen in het Bois de Boulogne en een portret van Georges Cain in zijn studio in Parijs, Frankrijk before 1896

This anonymous photograph, taken sometime before 1896, captures two snapshots of Parisian life: one a casual stroll through the Bois de Boulogne, featuring two figures with an umbrella in the distance, and the other, a portrait of Georges Cain, in his studio. The smaller format and black and white tones of the photographs are characteristic of early photographic practice, and the subject matter of the images reflects the popular focus on everyday life and portraiture in late 19th century France.
