Here Notman experimented with angles, rendering a photograph that looks almost like an Impressionist painting: the details of the woman reclining, book in hand, give an overall effect that is remarkably similar to paintings by Berthe Morisot. This image is a reproduction of the glass negative, from which Notman would likely have printed only a portion of the photograph. In many cases, he deliberately captured more in the image so that he could edit later.
