EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze of Mrs. Samuel Getty, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915. The image, now held at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Getty's elegant hairstyle, with her sleek, parted hair pulled back into an intricate updo, accentuating her refined neckline. The direct gaze she offers the camera adds an air of confidence and allure, making this a captivating and timeless portrait. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique popular during the early 20th century. The monochromatic palette of the photograph adds to its vintage charm, transporting us back to the 1910s. Mrs. Getty's attire, with its high collar and modest neckline, is also reflective of the fashion trends of the era. The portrait of Mrs. Samuel Getty by Arnold Genthe is a testament to the power of a single image to capture a moment in time, preserving the essence of a person and their era for future generations. This hauntingly beautiful portrait continues to captivate viewers with its intensity and timeless allure.
