Taken after 1909 by the Byron Company, this silver gelatin print captures Belasco engrossed in his reading and checking of paperwork. The image showcases Belasco's dedication to his craft as he meticulously references the dictionary for accuracy and precision. Surrounded by an array of books and cluttered objects, it is evident that this space serves as his sanctuary for creativity and inspiration. Belasco's intense gaze reveals a man deeply immersed in his work. The portrait exudes a sense of intellectual prowess as he stands confidently amidst the chaos of his surroundings. The monochromatic tones add depth to the photograph, emphasizing both the seriousness of Belasco's demeanor and the timeless nature of his profession. This image not only offers a glimpse into Belasco's personal working habits but also serves as a testament to the importance of research and knowledge within artistic endeavors.
