Old photograph "Madame Vigée Le Brun and her daughter" A Mouttet Paris

Antique photographic print on thick paper depicting Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun tenderly holding her daughter Julie in her arms, based on the famous painting "Maternal Tenderness" painted in 1786 by the renowned portraitist. This portrait, emblematic of 18th-century maternal sensitivity, illustrates the delicate and expressive art of Vigée Le Brun, official painter of Marie-Antoinette. The photograph was probably produced in the late 19th or early 20th century for decorative or educational purposes. It is stamped on the back by the Parisian publisher A. Mouttet, rue de Seine, known for his reproductions of major works under the label "Aux Musées d'Europe". Dimensions: 22 X 29 cm. Good overall condition: slightly warped paper with folding marks in the upper corners, some signs of handling, and a visible halo on the upper part of the verso (without impact on the front). The image remains very legible, with a beautiful contrast in the gray-brown tones. An aesthetic and historical piece, witness to the diffusion of classical art through photography at the turn of the 20th century.
