EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Holbein Woman" by Frances S. Allen, dates back to the late 19th century and is a striking homage to the artistic mastery of Hans Holbein the Younger. The image is a head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman, elegantly dressed and posed in the style of Holbein's renowned paintings. Her attire includes a high-necked, long-sleeved gown, a wimple, and a veil, all reminiscent of the fashionable clothing of the Tudor period. The woman's expression is serene and thoughtful, adding to the overall sense of timeless beauty and sophistication. Frances S. Allen, an American photographer, skillfully captured this evocative image using gelatin silver prints, a popular photographic process during the 1890s. The Library of Congress in the United States is fortunate to house this precious piece of heritage art in its extensive collection. The photograph not only showcases Allen's exceptional talent as a photographer but also serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Holbein's artistry. This image invites us to appreciate the rich history of both photography and European art.
