The artwork that is going to be discussed is a photograph of English actress Ellen Terry made by Julia Margaret Cameron in 1864.
One of the things that I like about the photograph is that it is black and white. It perfectly delivers the mood of the actress, which is sadness mixed with heartsore. The value of the artwork is that it reminds the world that people are all the same. It gives us a message that even though the photograph was taken around 150 years ago, people are still feeling the very same feelings and emotions. The photograph gives the feeling of connection with the world of the past. An interesting fact about the artwork is that the picture was taken during the honeymoon of the actress.
