Description

One of a series of full length photographs of a man. This Portrait shows a man dressed in a chef's outfit in a very theatrical pose. The backdrop is the same used in many of Rousham Roberts portraits. It seems uncertain whether this is indeed what it seems to be - a chef dressed up for the occasion of having his portrait taken, or whether it might be a portrait of a man who acted a part in a theatrical production. The name 'Jones' appears on the docket of the negative sleeve.
