Bouillon Blanc en Fleur
A luminous photograph by Eugène Atget capturing the delicate blooms of white mullein (bouillon blanc) in flower, rendered with the quiet, contemplative precision characteristic of his botanical and Parisian studies. The image reflects Atget's masterful use of natural light to document the organic world with both scientific clarity and poetic sensitivity. Annotated and stamped on the verso, this work carries the historical traces of its passage through notable collections, including the Museum of Modern Art.
