Catalogue Entry 1989
[] Portrait of William Henry Hunt by Henneman and Malone, late 1840s/early 1850s. Nicolaas Henneman, Talbot's protégé, had a calotype portrait studio in London from 1847-1855. Hunt was a nature painter who foreshadowed the Pre-Raphaelites and influenced Ruskin. The photograph has a faint grid of pencil lines drawn over the head, betraying its use as a sketch, probably for a self-portrait.
