Pierre-Louis Pierson :: Portrait of Countess of Castiglione
in fancy dress
as a Carmelite Nun, 1863. ‘The Hermit of Passy’: one of three poses known. The images were taken after the charity event in which the countess appeared in the ‘tableau vivant’ as a Carmelite nun. The countess authorized the sale of one of the photographs for 50 francs a copy. The money was to go to charity. This image is an enlargement of the bust of the Countess as it appears in the seated version of ‘The Hermit of Passy.’ / src: Stephen Ellcock and The Red List
