Auguste Belloc began his career as a painter of miniatures and watercolors before turning to photography, where he quickly gained recognition for his mastery of the daguerreotype and contributions to early color stereoscopy. He later became known for his poetic nude studies, which combined classical aesthetics with technical finesse. Today, his work is held in major international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A variant of this print is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. – Some irregularities in the emulsion, some signs of retouching, a few light scuff marks; otherwise in good condition.
