with the great artist Delacroix in the mid-1850s.

  1. Just to clarify; are you saying that Durieu took this for Delacroix to paint later?

    1. Probably, but photography was a novelty at the time, and they may have been tring a new medium.

  2. Une collaboration importante.
    An artist assists another artist, Durieu shared his modèles with Delacroix.

  3. These are utterly magical. A window into the mid 19th century. Yet, that life studio vibe is familiar to me. Total empathy with that model.
