Beautifully Composed, Poetic Old Presumed Medical Snapshot Photo of Propped Leg and Foot

Regular price $75.00

This is one I have spent a lot of time looking at and keep coming back to to look some more. I believe the snapshot was likely taken for medical purposes, documenting the condition of the subject's foot and leg, but for me it is so much about the formal qualities of the image as a whole (the tonalities, the lines of the stools, the surface of the floor, the arc of the leg, the curve of the frame in the background...) which, combined with the sense of vulnerability embedded in the act of exposing that leg, make it feel a very  tender and poignant and poetic photograph. I would be very glad to hold onto this one. 

4 1/2" x 2 7/8", good condition, a bit of roughness to the right edge of the paper, just from how it was trimmed.
