Backdrop Cigar Fruits Sarong Black And White Photograph Traditional Costume
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a young Burmese girl in the late 19th century. Taken by Colin Roderick Murray, or attributed to him, this albumen print from a glass negative showcases the beauty and cultural richness of Burma (now Myanmar). The young girl stands gracefully with a basket of fruits in her hands, dressed in traditional Burmese attire. Her sarong drapes elegantly around her as she gazes into the camera with an air of innocence and curiosity. The full-length portrait allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of her costume. Set against a backdrop within a photographic studio interior, this image transports us back in time to experience the authenticity and charm of old Burma. The simplicity yet complexity captured here is truly remarkable. Noteworthy elements include an Asian cigar held delicately between her fingers, adding an intriguing touch to this already mesmerizing composition. The choice to present this photograph in black and white further enhances its timeless appeal. This rare glimpse into history comes from a private collection but is now available for all to admire thanks to Fine Art Finder's digitization efforts. It serves as a testament not only to Murray's skillful artistry but also as documentation of Burmese culture during that era.
