EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enchanting beauty of Mareta, a young woman of the early 1910s. Taken on April 16, 1914, by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases Mareta's elegant and timeless style. Mareta dons a high-necked blouse with intricate embroidery adorning the collar and cuffs, adding a touch of refinement to her outfit. The blouse is paired with a long, embroidered dress that cascades gracefully around her figure, revealing her delicate ankles and the dainty embroidery on her shoes. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo, held in place by a decorative hairpin, and her expressive eyes gaze downward, adding an air of mystery to her demeanor. The portrait was captured using a glass negative process, a popular photographic technique of the time, which lends the image a rich, textured quality. The monochromatic palette of black and white further emphasizes the timeless nature of the photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era of fashion and elegance. This portrait of Mareta, taken by the esteemed Arnold Genthe, is a testament to the enduring allure of vintage fashion and the art of portrait photography. It is a treasure from the past that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
