Marina Possibly 1887 - 1896

"Marina" is a photo by Alfred Stieglitz, taken sometime between 1887 and 1896. It is a close-up portrait of a young woman, likely Stieglitz's wife, with a blurred brick wall background. The subject's gaze and expression convey a sense of vulnerability and introspection. The soft focus and the intimate framing emphasize the figure’s presence, characteristic of Stieglitz's early photographic work. The photo was taken in a candid style, capturing a fleeting moment of her natural expression, marking a departure from formal portraiture prevalent at the time.
