Description

This striking black and white photograph captures an elegant figure, adorned in a sophisticated, form-fitting dress with precise horizontal pleats, and topped with an impeccably wide-brimmed hat. The subject gazes into a compact mirror, embodying poise and grace. The dramatic lighting accentuates the contours of her face and attire, creating a powerful contrast against the modern, abstract backdrop of geometric, sculptural forms. These forms add an enchanting, avant-garde element, suggesting a harmonious blend of fashion and art. The composition is meticulously balanced, showcasing the model's elongated silhouette and her contemplative expression, reflecting the refinement and allure of vintage glamour. This artwork is a quintessential representation of timeless elegance, captivating with its impeccable style and artistic depth.

Hand-signed silver gelatin print, printed later 2008. Edition number 1/7 and signature in pencil are verso.
