Japanese actress 

"Japanese Actress" is a portrait by French photographer Félix Nadar. The image captures an unidentified Japanese actress in traditional costume, standing in a slightly posed, theatrical stance with a fan in her hand. The use of black and white photography evokes a timeless quality, and the focus on the actress's elegant form emphasizes the grace and beauty of traditional Japanese dress. Nadar, known for his pioneering work in portrait photography, captured the subject with striking detail. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the performance art of the time, showcasing the cultural exchange of the late 19th century.
