The artwork entitled “Mary and Charlotte Webster and Margaret Gatey” was created by Lewis Carroll in 1857. This piece belongs to the Pictorialism art movement and falls within the genre of photography.
The artwork depicts three young girls, identified as Mary, Charlotte Webster, and Margaret Gatey, arranged closely together on the ground against a natural background, likely a rock formation. Their expressions and postures convey a sense of camaraderie and intimacy. The photograph showcases the characteristic soft focus and artistic concentration on composition and mood typical of Pictorialism, emphasizing the visual beauty and emotional content of the scene rather than merely documenting it.
