Fille de Lanxchow, 1870s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait captured by Baron Raimund von Stillfried in the late 19th century. This albumen silver print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Chinese woman from Lanxchow, her delicate features and traditional attire reflecting the rich heritage of her country. The monochromatic composition, rendered in black and white, adds an air of timelessness to this image. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is its hand-tinted elements. The application of color brings life to the subject's clothing and accessories, enhancing their vibrancy against the subdued backdrop. Baron Raimund von Stillfried was renowned for his skillful portrayal of people from different cultures during his time spent in China. With meticulous attention to detail and sensitivity towards his subjects' cultural identity, he created images that bridged geographical distances through visual storytelling. This particular photograph now resides within the esteemed collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its presence there not only preserves history but also allows viewers to appreciate the artistry behind early photography techniques. Through "Fille de Lanxchow" we are transported back to a bygone era where women like her were emblematic of their nation's grace and elegance. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, capturing human beauty remains timeless across all borders and centuries.
