Seated nude with doves. Ca. 1910. Albumen print. 20 x 13,2 cm. Photographer’s “Proprietà Artistica: Vincenzo Galdi, Via Sardegna, 55, Roma” studio stamp on the verso.

A refined example of Galdi’s exploration of the female nude, this photograph exemplifies the artist’s distinctive blend of classical poise and fin-de-siècle sensuality. Active in Rome during the early 1900s, Galdi developed a photographic language informed by Symbolist aesthetics and the visual heritage of his mentor, Guglielmo Plüschow. Here, the presence of doves adds an allegorical dimension to the sitter’s contemplative pose, underscoring Galdi’s interest in mythic and erotic themes rendered with formal clarity. – Slight buckling, light stains from previous mounting in corners, otherwise in very good condition with strong tonal range and well-preserved detail.
