Haentjens, Alfred - Public domain portrait drawing

Isidore Alphonse Chalot began his career as a photographer in the 1870s and quickly gained recognition for his work. He won numerous prizes and medals for his photographs, including a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889. Chalot was known for his use of natural light in his photographs, which gave them a soft and dreamy quality. He also experimented with different techniques, such as using multiple exposures to create a sense of movement in his images. Chalot died in Paris on 16 May 1893 at the age of 47. Despite his relatively short career, he left a legacy of beautiful and innovative photography that continues to inspire artists today.
