Original photographic reproduction produced by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Photograph Services, after a 19th-century work by French pictorialist Robert Demachy (1859–1936).
The image reproduces Dans les Coulisses (1897), originally executed in gray pigment / gum bichromate, one of Demachy’s most characteristic processes. This example comes from the Alfred Stieglitz Collection, accessioned by the Met in 1949.
A quietly elegant, historically grounded print—ideal for collectors of early photography, Pictorialism, or museum-issued study prints.
