EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 8, 1917, captures the enchanting beauty and intellectual grace of Ananda Coomaraswamy, also known as Ratan Devi. Born in England to an English mother and a Sri Lankan father, Coomaraswamy was a prominent figure in the arts world of the early 20th century. She was an accomplished musician, scholar, and writer, best known for her contributions to the study and promotion of Indian art and culture. In this image, Coomaraswamy is depicted wearing traditional Indian clothing, adorned with intricate jewelry and flowers in her hair. The delicate bracelet on her wrist and the finger ring on her hand add to the overall elegance of her appearance. The background of the photograph features a simple, natural setting, with plants and flowers adding a touch of serenity to the scene. Coomaraswamy's portrait was captured using a glass negative process, resulting in a stunning black and white image that has stood the test of time. The photograph is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a testament to the enduring legacy of both Coomaraswamy and Genthe's artistic vision.
