EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing portrait of a Peruvian tapada, gracefully leaning against a balustrade. The tapada, an iconic figure in Peruvian culture, is shrouded in mystery and allure as she conceals her face beneath an elegant lace veil. Her poised stance exudes confidence and sophistication. The backdrop of bustling cities adds depth to the composition, hinting at the vibrant urban life that surrounds this enigmatic woman. The intricate details captured by Eugenio Courret's lens are brought to life through the albumen printing technique used in this piece. The rich tones and textures create a tactile quality that enhances the overall visual experience. Part of the Cities and Sites Cartes-de-Visite collection, this photograph exemplifies Courret's mastery in capturing cultural nuances through his lens. His reputation as a renowned photographer is evident not only in his meticulous attention to detail but also through his innovative use of foto-relieve-esmalte techniques. Printed on verso are accolades received by Courret for his exceptional work - "Medalla de Honor" at Exposicion 1869 and "Medalla de Oro" at Exposicion 1872 - further solidifying his status as one of Peru's most celebrated photographers. This remarkable portrait transports us back in time to Lima during the Republico Peruana era, offering us a glimpse into both its history and its beauty. It serves as a testament to Courret's skillful artistry
