Original bromoil photo, 29,5 x 39,5 cm; signed in the left lower corner. Pasted on cardboard, under passe-partout. Some minor scratches sl. affecting the image.
Monochrome grey-greenish poetic photo of a road covered with puddles, trees along the sides making a natural roof and 3 misty figures. L. Misonne (1870-1943) was a Belgian photographer and figurehead of the pictorialist movement in Belgium, making striking images of landscapes resembling paintings using a tender and timeless technique of both diffused foggy and luminous exposure often culminating in dramatic skies.
