Abstract

How is the so—called ethnographic portrait produced? We investigate two moments —a pre photographic and a photographic one— in its history: the production of the portrait of the exotic "other" by North European artists like Rembrandt van Rijn and Albert Eckhout in the 17th century, and the production of images of the mapuche by photographers like Gustavo Milet Ramírez and Odber Heffer Bisett in the zone of La Frontera in Southern Chile in the last decades of the 19th century.
