About this item
- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This full-length portrait shows two figures, one seated with an infant on his lap and one standing, described as a servant and a eunuch with the child of their master. They all face forward, looking towards the camera.
The standing man wears a white thawb or shirt held at the waist with a patterned sash and a patterned turban on his head. The seated man, or eunuch, wears a dark-coloured outer robe with embroidered lapels over a white thawb and a patterned turban. On the little finger of his right hand he wears a ring. The infant wears white trousers and shirt as well as a white hat or bonnet and white slippers.
The men are photographed in a courtyard-like space with plants – some in wide wooden pots – foliage and a window, fronted by bars, visible in the background.
The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded paint-like quality in places.
