Jean-Gabriel Eynard frequently photographed his closest friends and family members, including the deRegny family and their children. Here they and the Eynards pose at Eynard's country house in Switzerland. Eynard himself appears in profile seated at the front, his rightward gaze accentuated by his restless-looking hair, brushed forward in an eccentric sweep of energy. Only the boy at the right looks boldly at the camera: everyone else in the photograph seems consciously preoccupied with someone or something out of camera range at the right.
