EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic figure of May Mott-Smith, taken between 1916 and 1923 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The full-length image showcases May in elegant attire, her dress adorned with intricate patterns and a flowing silhouette, reflecting the fashion trends of the 1910s. With a thoughtful expression on her face, May's left hand rests on her hip, while her right hand is delicately poised in front of her, adding an element of grace and mystery to the composition. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in glass negative photography, expertly captured the essence of May's character in this still image, taken in his photography studio. May's occupation is not explicitly stated in the title, but her refined appearance suggests she may have been a woman of means or possibly a painter, sculptor, or other artist. The image, now part of the Library of Congress' vast collection, serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century. With its timeless beauty and intriguing subject, this portrait continues to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the art of photography.
