EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic beauty of May Mott-Smith, an American artist of the 1910s. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe between 1916 and 1928, showcases May in an elegant and poised posture, with one hand delicately placed on her heart. Her expressive brown eyes are cast down, giving the impression of deep thought or introspection. May's hair is styled in an intricate updo, with loose tendrils framing her face and adding to the allure of her appearance. May Mott-Smith was a multitalented artist, excelling in both painting and sculpture. Her profession is reflected in the artistic and creative energy emanating from this portrait. The setting of the photograph is uncertain, but the sense of quiet contemplation and the timeless quality of the image suggest a secluded and reflective moment. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this striking image using glass negatives. The resulting monochrome print showcases the intricacies of May's features and the subtle textures of her hairdo. The contrast between the white blouse and her dark hair adds depth and dimension to the image, further emphasizing the intrigue and allure of May Mott-Smith. This vintage portrait is a testament to the enduring power of art and the captivating beauty of the human spirit.
