Within this photo, Eugene Atget is able to portray the beauty of an old room. In this photo there is a mantel with a mirror inside it. Through the mirror, you can see a small couch with a cloth over it to protect it and to the right of the couch are six chairs with cloth over them pushed up against the wall. This photo makes me feel like I am in an old room where someone had died. The photo makes me wonder about who used to live in the house and what they were like. Eugene Atget uses the formal elements of color because the photo was taken in black and white or middle gray, he used lines that are vertical, horizontal, and curved and he used framing with the mantel around the mirror.
