Mlle Rousseau 1863

"Mlle Rousseau" is a carte-de-visite photograph created by the French photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri in 1863. The photograph features a woman in a series of poses, likely staged for the camera. This popular photographic format, introduced by Disdéri in the 1850s, allowed for the production of affordable and easily exchangeable portraits. The use of multiple images within a single frame adds a sense of dynamism and theatricality to the composition, characteristic of Disdéri's work. This specific photograph is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
