1 οικογενειακή φωτογραφία του Πάνου Κουρτζή με τη Μυρσινιώ και το Μίτσα σε παιδική ηλικία

Pascal Sébah, Constantinople et le Caire

1 οικογενειακή φωτογραφία του Πάνου Κουρτζή με την Μυρσινιώ και το Μίτσα σε παιδική ηλικία, κατά τη διάρκεια της διαμoνής τους στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Η οικογένεια είναι φωτογραφημένη στο φωτογραφικό στούντιο, πίσω από μια ξυλόγλυπτη εταζέρα. Ο μικρός Μίτσας είναι ντυμένος με ένα χαρακτηριστικό παιδικό φόρεμα της εποχής. Η Μυρσινιώ κρατάει στο χέρι της βεντάλια, φορά ένα μακρύ φόρεμα και φέρει μια χαρακτηριστική καρφίτσα στο κέντρο του λαιμού. Ο Πάνος φέρει το παπιγιόν και κλειστό σακάκι, κουμπωμένο ψηλά.
