You see a large, square stone house in Pau, France. Heavy shadows fall on one side. A small garden with a low wall sits in front. This isn’t a painting—it’s one of the few photos known from 1854 by a mystery photographer. Only 24 works survive from this person. Instead of a straight-on view, the angle shows depth and texture in the stone. Try looking up W.H.G. (French) next.
