About this photograph
Arnold Genthe photographed Ethel Kremer in 1921. The portrait was taken on a 5x7 inch nitrate negative.
Genthe worked in the soft-focus pictorialist style and maintained a studio in New York during this period, having moved there from San Francisco in 1911. He continued working into the 1940s.
The negative is part of a collection of roughly 20,000 items the Library of Congress acquired from Genthe's unclaimed studio after his death in 1942. The collection includes several thousand studio portraits alongside his other photographic work.
No further details about Ethel Kremer or the circumstances of this sitting are recorded in the archive.
