EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette portrait captures the intimate moment between Florence Ayscough and her beloved Pekingese dog, Yo Fei, in China during the 1920s. Florence, who was born in China to British parents, is depicted in the image with a serene expression as she leans down to feed her canine companion, who eagerly begs for food with a hopeful look in his eyes. The intricately cut silhouette technique used in this photograph beautifully highlights the bond between the two, with the delicate details of their features and the folds of their clothing skillfully rendered in black against a soft, textured background. Florence Ayscough's memoir, "A Chinese Mirror," offers a fascinating account of her childhood in China and her experiences as a foreigner in a rapidly modernizing country. In this image, we catch a glimpse into her personal life, revealing the deep connection she shared with her cherished pet, Yo Fei. The silhouette format, a popular art form in China for centuries, adds an elegant and timeless quality to the photograph, making it a stunning addition to any collection of Asian art or pet portraits.
