Located at 30 boulevard d'Enfer in Paris in the 1870's, Igout was the photographer of many 19th century academic nudes produced to aid artists, usually published in multiple image format (copy prints that are much smaller than the present example) by the editeur, Calavas. Though classical in composition, a fine use of lighting, props and posing makes these among the more attractive of the late 19th century nude studies.
