Baptism of Prince Albert. Monaco 1958.
The baptism of Prince Albert in Monaco, 1958, is captured in an intimate, overhead view. The infant prince is held over a large, reflective silver font by an elegantly dressed woman in pearls and a fur stole. Poised above, an officiant’s hand, emerging from an ornate lace cuff, holds a scallop-shaped shell with baptismal water. The tight framing focuses on the sacred act, with the scene mirrored and distorted in the gleaming silver below.
