F. Holland Day was one of the founding fathers of Pictorialist photography - a movement that insisted the camera could make art as seriously as any painter's brush. He was also deeply strange, in the best possible way: a mystic, an aesthete, a man who once spent weeks fasting and growing his hair to photograph himself as the crucified Christ.

This 1899 photograph shows a shirtless man in a long robe - hieratic, otherworldly, somewhere between prophet and wanderer. Digitally restored by The Wiggly Easel and given a bold colour intervention: a golden border set against deep maroon, framed and ready to hang.

Dark academia. Symbolist. Gloriously odd.

Framed, A4, one of a kind.

✧ About The Wiggly Easel

The Wiggly Easel curates pre-loved prints and original reinterpretations with character – pieces chosen for their atmosphere, history, and ability to make a space feel layered and personal.

Each item is selected and created with an art-historical eye and a love of interiors that feel lived-in rather than perfect.

If this one sparks joy, take a wander through the rest of the collection – there’s a little world of carefully chosen prints and one-off treasures waiting to be discovered ✨
