An artistic profile

Boy in profile. RPPC. Private Collection.

A pensive chiaroscuro portrait of a boy from the 1910’s most likely. I don’t remember seeing many profile pictures of men from the time.

RPPC: AZO 1904-1918

Profiles do seem to be a rarity, full face were the norm, perhaps the profile was seen as “vain”
