About this artwork
Eugène Atget's photograph, made in 1898, shows an elderly, bearded organ-grinder in a bowler hat on a Paris street. He pushes a barrel organ cart, and a girl holds on to it, laughing. The black-and-white image keeps the moment simple and unposed: a street musician at work, with a child beside him. Atget was a pioneer of documentary photography who set out to record the streets and scenes of Paris, and this picture belongs to that body of work.
On your wall: Its black-and-white tones and human street scene suit a hallway, study or living room, especially alongside other photography or in a calm, neutral space.

About Eugène Atget
Eugène Atget was a French photographer and self-styled flâneur who set out to record the architecture and street scenes of Paris before modernisation swept them away. He sold his pictures to artists and craftspeople, and later inspired the surrealists. Berenice Abbott first published most of his photographs after his death, when his reputation began to grow.
