EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mrs. John D. Rockefeller" and created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1919, showcases the elegant and refined presence of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, the socialite and philanthropist who was the wife of financier John D. Rockefeller Jr. The image captures Abby in the prime of her life, dressed in an exquisite velvet dress adorned with intricate patterns and a stunning pearl necklace, accessorized with elegant jewelry and a delicate china vase. The portrait exudes an air of sophistication and grace, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the era. The photograph, which is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection housed at the Library of Congress, was taken against a simple white background, allowing the textures and details of Abby's clothing and accessories to take center stage. The use of high contrast lighting adds depth and dimension to the image, creating a timeless and captivating portrait of a woman of great wealth and influence. The portrait also serves as a window into the fashion trends of the 1910s, showcasing the popularity of velvet fabric, pearls, and intricate patterns in women's clothing. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of classic fashion and the power of a well-crafted portrait to transport us to a different time and place.
