[Group portrait of ten Eynard-Lullin family members and friends]
Creator
Jean-Gabriel EynardSwiss Daguerreotypist · 1775–1863
All works by this person →Jean-Gabriel Eynard was a wealthy amateur photographer who made photographs chiefly for his own amusement. He learned the daguerreotype process in Paris in the early 1840s, not long after the invention of the process was announced in 1839. His financial independence afforded him the time and ability to practice photography, which in its infancy was an expensive pastime and difficult to master. Ass

Jean-Gabriel Eynard frequently photographed his closest friends and family members, including the deRegny family and their children. Here they and the Eynards pose at Eynard's country house in Switzerland. Eynard himself appears in profile seated at the front, his rightward gaze accentuated by his restless-looking hair, brushed forward in an eccentric sweep of energy. Only the boy at the right looks boldly at the camera: everyone else in the photograph seems consciously preoccupied with someone or something out of camera range at the right.
