Antique bronze group of two figures is a 1864 photographic by Louise Laffon, a Impressionism work, depicting putto, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photograph from 1863–64 of two figures, likely a playful scene with a putto. Louise Laffon made it during the early years of photography. The Victoria and Albert Museum began collecting photographs in 1852, making it the first to do so. Henry Cole, the director, saw photography as a way to help artists and students. This pair of figures is part of that early push. Look up the museum.
