This street portrait, taken by celebrated French humanist photographer Édouard Boubat in 1952, captures two young girls in post-war Paris.

The image exemplifies Boubat's signature style - his ability to capture tender, spontaneous moments with profound humanity. Known as the 'peace photographer' for his gentle approach and pursuit of life's poetic moments, Boubat (1923-1999) began his photographic career after World War II and became one of France's most renowned photographers.
