Emmy at Oaklawn, Lake George Possibly 1895 - 1896

"Emmy at Oaklawn, Lake George" is a black and white photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, taken sometime between 1895 and 1896. The image depicts Emmy, the artist's future wife, standing in a wooded area, her figure partially obscured by the foliage. Stieglitz, a pioneering figure in Pictorialism, used soft focus and a painterly composition to create a romantic and atmospheric scene. The photograph, with its intimate portrait of a woman, embodies the aesthetic ideals of the late 19th century and is a notable example of Stieglitz's early work.
