[George Frederick Watts] 1860s

This carte de visite photograph, created in the 1860s by John and Charles Watkins, captures the likeness of George Frederick Watts, a prominent English painter. Watts, known for his symbolic and allegorical works, is depicted with a thoughtful expression, his signature bushy beard and mustache framing his face. The photograph, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a small but intimate glimpse into the life of a notable artist of the Victorian era.
