EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Barklay, D. Mrs.," was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on July 14, 1915. The image captures a glamorous and seductive woman, Mrs. Barklay, who sits with an enigmatic expression, looking away from the camera. Her elegant attire, consisting of a long-sleeved dress with a high neckline and a fur stole draped over her shoulders, exudes an air of sophistication and class. The intricate detailing on the dress, along with the delicate lace on her cuffs and the fine jewelry adorning her fingers, adds to the overall allure of the image. Mrs. Barklay's hairstyle, with its voluminous curls and intricate updo, is a testament to the fashion trends of the early 1910s. Her dark hair is artfully arranged, with a few loose strands framing her face, adding to her seductive appeal. The woman wears a wedding ring on her left hand, hinting at a married status, yet her seductive gaze and the suggestive pose of her hand holding a ring on her right hand, leaves one wondering about the true nature of her character. Arnold Genthe, known for his mastery of glass negatives, expertly captures the essence of Mrs. Barklay's personality in this still image. The contrast between the white collar of her dress and the black background, along with the subtle shades of grey in the image, adds depth and texture to the photograph. This portrait, now part of the Library of Congress's Heritage Art Collection, is a testament to the timeless allure of fashion and the art of seduction.
