Portret van Frederic Mistral 1867 - 1875

This is a carte de visite portrait of Frederic Mistral, a prominent figure in the Provençal literary movement, taken by French photographer Georges Mathurin Legé between 1867 and 1875. The photograph captures Mistral in a formal pose, dressed in a dark suit with a bow tie, his hands placed in his pockets. The image is a classic example of 19th-century portraiture, a genre that gained immense popularity during the era, and is often associated with the development of photography as a new medium for art.
