EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of a girl in profile: she is holding a rod pointed skywards, another finer rod is pointed at her back. In the background a large sketch with fabric around it" takes us back to the late 19th century in Abruzzo, Italy. The image beautifully captures an intriguing moment frozen in time. The focal point of this portrait is undoubtedly the young girl herself. Her delicate features are highlighted as she gazes into the distance, her profile outlined against the backdrop of what appears to be a painter's studio. In her hands, she holds two rods; one pointing towards the heavens and another directed at her back. These enigmatic props add an air of mystery to the scene, leaving viewers pondering their symbolic significance. Intriguingly placed behind our subject is a large sketch adorned with fabric draping around it. This suggests that artistry plays an important role in this young girl's life - perhaps she herself aspires to become an artist or model for painters seeking inspiration. Her fashion choices also provide insight into the era depicted in this photograph. Dressed elegantly for daytime, she wears clothing typical of that period - intricate lace details adorn her dress while her hairdo showcases meticulous styling. Francesco Paolo Michetti masterfully captures not only his subject's physical appearance but also hints at deeper layers within this portrait. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate themes such as work and vocation, fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that time period. This remarkable print serves as both a window into history and an artistic masterpiece worthy of admiration for its composition and storytelling prowess
