Arnold Genthe photographed Erika Lohman in 1930, producing this portrait negative on safety film. The Library of Congress catalogue records the negative as 5 x 7 inches.

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. After his death in 1942, the Library of Congress acquired roughly 20,000 items from his unclaimed studio. The collection includes several thousand studio portraits alongside other photographic work.
