Within this photo, Eugene Atget is able to portray a unique door knocker. In his photo there is the face of a lion in the center holding two snakes in it’s mouth. The snakes are holding a metal ball between their mouths. This photo makes me feel like someone very important and powerful lived or worked behind the door and shows beauty within something that is often overlooked. Eugene Atget uses the formal element of simplicity by moving in close to the door knocker, color because the door is a bronze color, and texture because the texture of the snake is visible on it’s back.
