Richard 1912

"Richard" is a 1912 photographic portrait by American artist Morton Schamberg. The work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a compelling example of Schamberg's early photographic work. The image showcases a young boy named Richard, captured in a close-up view. The boy's piercing gaze and somber expression, contrasted with the soft, blurred background, create a sense of intimacy and introspection, characteristic of Schamberg's artistic style. The work is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with sensitivity and depth.
