The artwork titled “Tryphena Hughes and her children Arthur, Amy, and Agnes” was created by Lewis Carroll in 1864. This piece falls under the Pictorialism art movement and represents the genre of photography.
The artwork depicts Tryphena Hughes seated with her three children, Arthur, Amy, and Agnes, in a serene outdoor setting. The photograph is circular in format, subtly augmenting the intimate domestic scene it portrays. The subjects appear immersed in their moment, with Tryphena seated in the center, flanked by her children who are engaging with her and each other. The backdrop consists of a simple wooden structure, drawing focus to the central figures. Overall, the composition exudes a sense of calm and familial tenderness, characteristic of the Pictorialism movement’s emphasis on beauty and emotional depth in photographic works.
