La Favre 1869 - 1874

"La Favre" is a portrait photograph by Jeremiah Gurney, taken between 1869 and 1874. The image captures a young woman, likely the artist's subject, in a relaxed pose. She is lying on a striped rug, her head resting on her arm as she reads a book. The photograph's composition and lighting emphasize the subject's graceful form and the intimate moment of reading. This intimate, artistic portrait showcases Gurney's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
