EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, captured by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in September 1932, we find the enigmatic figure of Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, an American socialite and heiress, posing with an air of sophistication and mystery. Gloria, who was the younger sister of Thelma, Lady Furness, was a prominent figure in the high society circles of the 1920s and 1930s. The photograph, taken when Gloria was just 28 years old, showcases her striking beauty and elegance. She is seen wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, adorned with intricate beadwork, that highlights her slender figure and accentuates her delicate features. Her hair, styled in soft waves, cascades down her shoulders, framing her face and adding to her allure. Madame Yevonde, a pioneer in the field of portrait photography, was known for her innovative techniques and use of dramatic lighting. In this portrait, she employs a soft, ethereal light that bathes Gloria's face, creating a dreamlike quality that adds to the enchanting atmosphere of the image. Gloria's expression is one of quiet introspection, her gaze fixed on an unseen point in the distance. This, coupled with the use of a dark background, adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue that surrounds her. The portrait is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a person and transport us to another time and place. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt's life was marked by scandal, tragedy, and triumph. She was the subject of a highly publicized custody battle over her son, and later, she became a successful designer and author. But in this moment, captured by Madame Yevonde's lens, she is simply a beautiful and enigmatic young woman, frozen in time.
