This snapshot from the estate of Isabel Wachenheimer, taken between 1938 and 1943 by an unknown photographer, captures a candid moment of a young woman standing in a room. The photograph's composition, focusing on the woman's face and upper body, suggests an intimate portrait, possibly taken by a family member or close friend. The woman's relaxed pose and gentle smile hint at a sense of familiarity and closeness, suggesting a personal connection between the photographer and the subject. The image's faded sepia tones and the rough texture of the paper give it a nostalgic feel, transporting viewers back to a bygone era.

The German Eugen Wachenheimer had a brilliant career at the Deutsche Bank and served as a naval officer in the First World War. In 1922 he married Else Moos. The Anti-Jewish laws instituted by the Nazi regime forced them to flee to the Netherlands in 1937. The photograph at the lower right is the last one taken of Eugen. He stands with his back to the camera behind his daughter. Eugen and Else were gassed at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944.
