Untitled [statue of man comforting crying girl] 1869 - 1874

This stereoscopic photograph, titled "Untitled [statue of man comforting crying girl]," was created by Jeremiah Gurney between 1869 and 1874. It depicts a sculpture of a man comforting a crying woman. The sculpture, likely made of plaster or marble, portrays the figures in a moment of tender intimacy. The image is a testament to Gurney's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the emotional depth of the sculpture. The stereoscopic format adds an extra dimension to the work, allowing viewers to perceive the scene in a more immersive way. The photograph is now part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering a glimpse into the art and technology of the 19th century.
