Our Pastor's Circle

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two panels of framed tintype portraits of women. Each panel features a four-by-three grid of photographs capturing the upper bodies of the women. The women face the camera directly, showcasing distinct hairstyles, facial features, and attire typical of the era. The frames around each portrait are elegant with gold-lined edges, set against a red velvet backing. The composition suggests a collection of portraits belonging to a family album or a historical record.
