Titled "Sara et Laure" this piece is believed to have been created between 1850 and 1855. Measuring at approximately 14.6 by 11.7 cm, this salted paper print with ink beautifully captures the delicate details and emotions of its subjects. The image depicts two individuals named Sara and Laure, whose identities remain a mystery but are undoubtedly significant to Deveria's artistic vision. Achille Deveria was known for his exceptional talent in portraiture, often infusing his works with a sense of intimacy and depth. This particular photograph exemplifies his mastery in capturing human expressions through subtle nuances of light and shadow. The use of salted paper as the medium adds an intriguing texture to the print, enhancing its vintage appeal while preserving its historical significance. It serves as a testament to the early techniques employed by photographers during that era. While not much is known about Théodule Deveria's involvement in this artwork, it is worth mentioning that he was also an accomplished artist who followed in his father's footsteps. This remarkable piece invites viewers into a world frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both Achille Deveria's skillful craftsmanship and our own curiosity about Sara et Laure's story.
