Beautiful Boy with Bicycle and Tile Floor, Gorgeous and Moody Antique Studio Photograph 19th century medicine seams all tightWhat a beautiful boy, and what a striking photograph. I have to think he is French, or perhaps Italian, black turtleneck and all. His face in soft focus, shadowy paintely backdrop behind him, making the image all the moodier, studio lights illuminating his bare legs most of all. And that wonderful tile floor. Feels like he is about to get on that bike and pedal straight onto a film set! Lovely. 4 7 8" x 3 7 8", good condition, one small imperfection
