EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the elegance and poise of Mrs. Sydney Breese, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916. The image finds Mrs. Breese seated in a plush armchair, her body slightly leaned forward, resting her elbow on a table and gazing off to the side with a thoughtful expression. Her evening dress, adorned with intricate netting and beading, shimmers in the soft light, the delicate fabric draped gracefully over her figure. The high collar and long sleeves of the dress are reminiscent of the fashion trends of the era, while her carefully coiffed hairdo adds to the overall sense of refinement and sophistication. The portrait was captured using a glass negative process, a popular technique of the time, and the resulting image showcases the timeless beauty and artistry of both the subject and the photographer. This still image, now held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of vintage fashion and portraiture.
