EDITORS COMMENTS
An Enchanting Glance from Anna Pavlova: A Portrait by Arnold Genthe, November 8, 1915 Anna Pavlova, the legendary Russian ballerina, captivates the world in this stunning portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe on November 8, 1915. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, showcases Pavlova's ethereal beauty and grace, which made her one of the most celebrated prima ballerinas of her time. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1881, Pavlova began her dance training at a young age and quickly rose to fame for her unique and expressive style. By the early 1910s, she had become an international sensation, performing in major cities around the world. In this portrait, Pavlova is depicted looking down, her expressive eyes conveying a sense of deep introspection or perhaps a momentary respite from the demands of her rigorous performing schedule. Her hair, styled in voluminous ringlets held in place by a delicate headband, cascades down her back, adding to her youthful and feminine appearance. The photograph was captured during Pavlova's visit to the United States, where she had been touring extensively. The black and white image, taken using a glass negative, showcases the artist's masterful use of light and shadow, highlighting Pavlova's delicate features and creating a sense of timeless elegance. Today, this portrait serves as a testament to Pavlova's enduring legacy as a trailblazing performer and a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of the performing arts. The image, like Pavlova herself, continues to captivate audiences and inspire new generations of dancers and artists.
