La Cigale or Odalesque?

Emma Justine Farnsworth :: La Cigale, 1899; photogravure in blue mounted on light gray wove paper.
From : American Pictorial Photography, Series I | src National Gallery of Art
Controversial: is this image Berg’s or Farnsworth’s?
Charles I. Berg (American, 1856-1926) :: Odalisque, circa 1897. Photogravure. Camera Notes Vol. 3 No. 3. | The Art of Photogravure
Charles I. Berg (American, 1856–1926) :: Odalesque (sic), No. 17 from the portfolio “American Pictorial Photography, Series I” (1899); edition 146/150 | AIC · Art Institute Chicago

This has not been an involuntary mistake, the images had been credited as there were in their respective sources. But there is further to be noticed, as you can see, the image below look more like one of Farnsworth in style and motive.

(***) | src National Gallery of Art

(***) credits on source is as follows :

Charles I. Berg : Odalesque, 1899
series Title : American Pictorial Photography, Series I
Medium : photogravure in red mounted on green wove paper

Index : American Pictorial Photography, Series I (1899) Published for ‘Camera Notes’ by the Publication Committee of the Camera Club (New York)

Plate 16 : La Cigale …………….. by Emma J. Farnsworth

Plate 17 : Odalesque ………….. by Charles I. Berg

Bearing in mind the photographers’ styles and motives it is highly probable that the plates had been miscredited at the National Gallery of Art. We reckon the last but one image in this post is plate number 16 (La Cigale / Farnsworth); and the other images correspond to plate number 17 : ‘Odalesque’ by Charles Berg.

Anyway, we are not certain about it, but hope that you have enjoyed the images.
