This is a black-and-white photo of an older man with a long, thick beard and curly hair. His face is serious, with a slight frown and tired eyes. He’s wearing a high collar that frames his face, and the photo is close-up, filling most of the frame. The artist was his stepfather, a zoologist, and this photo was taken in 1868. The style looks simple but careful, focusing on real details rather than fancy poses. Want to see more? Check out Impressionism for how artists later played with light and everyday moments.
