Un Regard Oblique - Robert Doisneau - 1948

This is indeed "Un Regard Oblique" (An Oblique Glance) taken by Robert Doisneau in 1948 in Paris, France. The photograph was taken outside an art gallery window on the Rue de Seine in Paris.

The image captures a wonderful moment of social commentary: a woman in dark winter clothing and a hat is looking sideways at a nude painting displayed in an ornate frame in a gallery window, while another person passes by in the background.

Robert Doisneau (1912-1994) was one of France's most notable photographers, known for his humanist photography and ability to capture candid moments of Parisian life. He worked for several magazines and was awarded numerous prizes throughout his career, including the Prix Kodak and the Prix Niépce.
