EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Mrs. Parsons, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on July 3, 1915. The young woman sits before a simple wooden chair, her hands clasped in her lap, her posture betraying a subtle air of sadness. Dressed in fashionable apparel of the era, her elegant dress with a high collar and long sleeves, adds to the timeless quality of the image. The glass negative technique used by Genthe enhances the depth and texture of the photograph, bringing out the intricate details of the fabric and the woman's expressive features. Mrs. Parsons' direct gaze into the camera invites the viewer to connect with her on a personal level, making this portrait a poignant reminder of the human experience. The still image, preserved in the vast collections of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring power of photography as a medium for capturing the essence of a moment in time. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, is known for his innovative use of light and composition, as well as his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait of Mrs. Parsons is a prime example of his artistry, showcasing his mastery of the medium and his ability to evoke emotion through a single image.
