EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 26, 1919, captures the distinguished and athletic visage of Foxhall Parker Keene. Keene, a prominent figure in early 20th century American sports, was a successful thoroughbred racehorse owner and breeder, as well as an accomplished polo player and amateur tennis player. His dashing moustache and piercing gaze add to his air of sophistication and authority. Born into a prominent Virginia family, Keene's passion for horses began at a young age. He went on to become a world and Olympic gold medallist in polo, and his racing stable, Foxhall Farm, was a major force in the sport of horse racing during the 1910s and 1920s. Keene's horses won numerous races, including the prestigious Belmont Stakes and the Preakness Stakes. This portrait, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, captures Keene in his prime. The glass negative, taken at a country location, showcases the natural light and the subtle textures of Keene's clothing and facial hair. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the American sportsman and the rich heritage of the country's athletic past.
