The image depicts a woman standing with her body slightly turned to the side. She holds a large basket in one hand and leans on a fish net with the other. She has a subtle smile and her gaze is directed to the side. She wears a headscarf, a striped, long-sleeved top, a knee-length skirt, and is barefoot. Shells are scattered around her on the ground. The background features a textured wall and a tree trunk to the right.

A Shrimp Fisher Girl

Félix Jacques Antoine Moulin · c. 1854 · albumen silver print ·  Accession ID  2007.29.37

These are two identical sepia-toned photographs placed next to each other. The photographs show a woman lying reclined on a bed. She is positioned on her side, her head towards the left and propped up on one of her hands. She is looking out at us. She has pale skin and long, dark hair that cascades over her shoulders. The woman appears to be nude, but upon closer inspection it seems she is wearing a sheer garment. Behind her seems to be a large mirror, showing us the back of her body. The setting is framed by white drapes or curtains with a floral pattern, and the bed beneath her has thin brown posts and a gray knitted or crocheted blanket with some white spots. The two photographs are contained in square framed with rounded corners on the top, and they are next to each other on a black surface with a purple border.
