EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Jessie Stonor, a renowned British sculptor, is captured in deep contemplation at the window of her London studio. The year is 1938, and the season has turned to autumn, as evidenced by the golden leaves that litter the pavement outside. The sculptor, dressed in a simple, elegant blouse and skirt, cradles a mask of herself in her hands, her expression thoughtful and introspective. The mask, a testament to her artistic skill, sits in stark contrast to the soft, flowing folds of her clothing and the delicate features of her face. The play of light and shadow across her face and the mask, as well as the silhouetted trees and cityscape beyond the window, add depth and texture to the image. Jessie Stonor was a prolific sculptor, known for her portrait busts and bas-reliefs. In October of that year, she held an exhibition of her work at the prestigious Beaux Arts Gallery, showcasing her unique and captivating creations. Among her esteemed sitters was the Duke of Kent, a testament to her talent and reputation in the art world. As she gazes out the window, lost in thought, one can't help but be drawn into her world of art and creativity. The mask, a reflection of her own visage, serves as a reminder of the transformative power of art and the endless possibilities it holds. This photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection, a glimpse into the mind of a truly inspiring artist.
