Henri Cartier-Bresson is perhaps best known for his candid street photography and his founding role in the Magnum agency. However, his portrait work is also significant, showing his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with both intimacy and depth. In his portrait work, Cartier-Bresson had the rare gift of letting his sitters forget the camera's presence, resulting in candid photographs, characterized by their simplicity and honesty. – In excellent condition.
