EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on January 14, 1918, captures the enchanting presence of Ananda Coomaraswamy, also known as Ratan Devi. Ananda Coomaraswamy was a prominent figure in the arts world, particularly in the realm of music and musicology. She was born in England to an English mother and a Sri Lankan father, and her multicultural heritage is reflected in her elegant attire and intricate jewelry. In this image, Ananda Coomaraswamy wears a beautiful dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, adorned with delicate embroidery and a flowing skirt. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo, held in place by a delicate headband and a pair of intricately designed earrings. She accessorizes her outfit with a necklace and a finger ring, adding to her regal appearance. The photograph was taken during a time when photography was at its peak, and Genthe's mastery of the medium is evident in the way he captures the subtle textures and intricate details of Ananda Coomaraswamy's clothing and jewelry. The portrait was taken at an undisclosed location, adding to the mysterious and alluring quality of the image. Ananda Coomaraswamy was a trailblazer in her field, and this portrait is a testament to her unique beauty, style, and cultural heritage. It is a valuable addition to the vast collection of heritage art at the Library of Congress and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 1910s.
