EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Mme. Spirescu, a woman of refined elegance and timeless beauty, in the early 1910s. Taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, this image is a precious addition to the rich heritage of 20th-century photography. The portrait was captured in Genthe's studio, likely in the United States, and showcases the woman wearing an intricately designed dress that was popular during that era. The dress, with its high collar, long sleeves, and flowing skirt, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Mme. Spirescu is depicted looking over her shoulder, adding an element of mystery and allure to the image. Her dark, expressive eyes are fixed on something beyond the frame, drawing the viewer into her world. The glass negative technique used by Genthe results in a stunning level of detail and depth, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the fabric, the folds of the dress, and the subtle textures of the woman's skin. As a key figure in the world of American photography during the 1910s, Arnold Genthe captured countless moments of history and culture. This portrait of Mme. Spirescu is a testament to his skill and artistry, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time. The Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of cultural and historical resources, is fortunate to house this and many other Genthe masterpieces, ensuring they are preserved for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
