Four Young Men Drinking Coffee or Tea

Kassian Céphas, c. 1867 - c. 1910

In addition to formal events at court, Céphas also photographed informal scenes from everyday life. These young men are placed in a studio setting and drink coffee or tea. Their postures and movements come across as very easy and natural and they may in fact be Céphas’ own sons or assistants.
