EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait, dated circa 1920, showcases the enigmatic figure of a Jewish furriers wife from Turkey. The woman's severe and stern expression is softened by her delicate features and the intricate beaded necklace that adorns her neck. The necklace, made of an impressive length of pearls and beads, cascades down her chest, drawing the eye and adding an air of sophistication to her attire. Dressed in a simple yet elegant black dress, she exudes an air of quiet confidence. The fur pelt wrapped around her shoulders and the heavy cloak draped over her arms suggest her connection to the fur trade, a significant industry in Turkey during the 1920s. The pelt's rich texture and the fine details of the cloak's fabric add depth and contrast to the monochrome portrait. The woman's dark, expressive eyes and the subtle folds of her dress create a sense of depth and dimension, inviting the viewer to delve deeper into her story. The studio setting, with its simple backdrop and focused lighting, highlights the intricacies of her attire and the captivating details of the portrait. This photograph, a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the fashion trends of the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the life of a Jewish furriers wife in Turkey during that era. The portrait's timeless beauty and the woman's striking presence continue to captivate and intrigue viewers, making it a must-have addition to any collection of vintage portraits or Turkish history.
