EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white portrait captures the elegance and sophistication of Alison Hore-Ruthven, one half of the famous Ruthven twins, and her husband John Barran. The image, taken by the renowned photographer Yevonde in 1929, exudes the glamour and style synonymous with the 1920s and 1930s. The Ruthven twins, Alison and Dorothy, were a popular subject of society portraits during this era. Born in 1898, they were known for their striking resemblance, with their fair complexion, blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes. Their beauty and charm made them a favorite among photographers and artists of the time, and they graced the pages of numerous fashion magazines and society publications. In this portrait, Alison is depicted in a simple yet elegant dress, with a delicate neckline and a flowing skirt. Her hair is styled in soft waves, framing her face and accentuating her striking features. Her husband, John Barran, stands beside her, dressed in a formal suit and looking dapper and debonair. The portrait was taken by Madame Yevonde, a pioneering figure in the world of portrait photography. Known for her innovative techniques and artistic vision, Yevonde was a leading figure in the art deco movement and her portraits are considered some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. This photograph is a testament to her skill and artistry, capturing the essence of Alison and John's love and connection, as well as the spirit of the times. The image is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when elegance and style reigned supreme, and the world was captivated by the glamour and allure of the twenties and thirties.
