EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Alf, Feté, Miss," was created by renowned German-American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1932. The image captures a young, naked woman, identified as Felicitas Ahlff, in a thoughtful and introspective pose. She is shown kneeling on a stage or studio floor, with one hand resting on her head, as if deep in thought or contemplation. The setting is unclear, but the image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Felicitas, a dancer or performer, is dressed only in her natural state, adding to the raw and authentic feel of the photograph. Her posture and expression suggest a sense of vulnerability and openness, inviting the viewer to connect with her on a deeper level. The image is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a moment and preserve it for future generations. The photograph is a nitrate negative, a historical process that was popular in the early days of photography but has since been largely replaced by more modern processes. This adds to the historical significance of the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or photography. Arnold Genthe was a prolific artist and photographer, known for his portraits of artists' models and his documentation of life in America during the early 20th century. This image, with its timeless beauty and haunting quality, is a standout example of his work and a reminder of the enduring power of the still image to capture the human spirit.
