French 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a framed photograph of three people from the waist up. There is a woman on the left, a child in the middle, and a man on the right. The woman wears a patterned shawl and a white bonnet, with a neutral expression. The child wears a dark collared outfit and places one hand on the man's chest. The man wears a suit with a bow tie and has neatly combed dark hair. They are against a backdrop with an ornate foliage pattern, and the photograph is in a wooden frame against a dark matte background.
