Plate
"L" [Fig. 22 credits]
|
Plate L captured a man sitting indoors. His eyes were open and clearly delineated with
the same bright spot of (mirror) reflected light in the corneas. There was no squint to his
expression and the lens system projected adequate depth of field for a portrait. A few dark spots
mar the image which is reversed left to right.
In plate L, the subject's hands are folded in front with elbows resting upon a shiny,
rounded chair arm. There are distinctive aspects of the gallery setting visible in the image--a
rounded object (chair rail?) behind the sitter and what appears to be the edge of a window sill.
The subject looks out a window or opening.
