Explore selected works

The image shows a person seated outdoors, with most of their upper body visible and leaning against a small structure that resembles a doghouse. The individual is in a relaxed position, resting their head on their hand, which is supported by the structure. They have medium-length hair that is straight and falls naturally around their face. The person is wearing a long skirt, but their upper body is uncovered, and they are barefoot. Surrounding them are rugged and aged objects, including a wooden porch railing, some scattered items on the ground, and a dilapidated wall in the background. The environment appears to be rustic with various tools and materials lying around, enhancing the sense of an outdoor setting. — Paul Emile Miot, Chien de Garvel (Martinique), 1870s, albumen silver print, Gift of Mary and Dan Solomon and Patrons' Permanent Fund, 2006.133.94
