EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait of a Dakota Sitter" showcases the remarkable talent of J. E. Whitney, an American artist from the 19th century. Created between 1862 and 1864 in the United States, this salted paper print measures 20 x 15.3 cm (7 7/8 x 6 inches), preserving a moment frozen in time. Whitney's expertise shines through as he captures the essence and character of his subject, a Dakota sitter. The portrait exudes a sense of dignity and strength, reflecting both the individual's personal presence and their cultural heritage. The use of salted paper enhances the texture and tonal range within this image, adding depth to every detail captured by Whitney's lens. Through careful composition and lighting techniques, he brings forth an intimate connection between viewer and subject. As we gaze upon this artwork from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a pivotal era in American history when Native American cultures were being documented for posterity. Whitney's work serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and his commitment to capturing diverse narratives during this transformative period.
