Description


One of the 19th-century’s greatest violinists, the Hungarian-born Joseph Joachim (1831–1907) performed works by Beethoven and Bach at St. James’s Hall, London, in March 1868. During this trip, the violinist sat for Cameron in the studio she set up at the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert), where her photographs had been acquired and exhibited as early as 1865. She never ran a commercial studio or accepted portrait commissions, choosing instead to seek out those poets, painters, scien­tists, and other notables with whom she felt a spiritual and intellectual kinship and whose images the public might desire.



ProvenanceGiven by the artist to her daughter Julia and son-in-law Charles Norman; by descent to his son Archibald Cameron Norman; by descent to his son Charles Lloyd Norman; by descent to his son Charles Wake Norman; by descent to his son to William Norman; by descent to his son Stephen Norman; [consigned to Hans P. Kraus, New York, 2012]; purchased by MFAH, 2021.
