In this enchanting portrait, captured by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in February 1931, we find Mrs Michael Arlen, formerly known as Countess Atalanta Mercati, cradling her newborn son, Michael John Arlen. The Countess, with her captivating beauty and regal bearing, exudes an air of elegance and grace as she gazes down at her baby boy with unbridled affection. Michael Arlen, a celebrated novelist and playwright, stands proudly beside his wife, his eyes filled with love and admiration for the woman who had become the center of his world. Madame Yevonde, a pioneer in the field of portrait photography, expertly captures the tender moment between mother and child, using her unique lighting techniques to create an ethereal and timeless image. The soft focus and delicate hues of the photograph add to the dreamlike quality, transporting us back to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. Mrs Michael Arlen, once a countess in her own right, had married the renowned author in 1929, and this portrait marks a significant moment in their lives as they embarked on their new journey as a family. The image is a testament to the deep bond between mother and child, and the love and devotion that comes with the beginning of a new life. Madame Yevonde's portrait of Mrs Michael Arlen and her baby son is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the power of motherhood and the enduring love between a parent and their child. It is a photograph that transcends time, capturing the essence of a moment that will forever be cherished by the Arlen family.
