André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri is best known for his development in Paris in 1854 of the carte-de-visite format for portraits. The year before, he was living in Southern France where he made this rural view. Disderi used waxed-paper negatives for only a short time. The oval cropping and picturesque scene—posed but seemingly spontaneous—suggest that this is meant to be an artistic, rather than a documentary, photograph.
