Jeanne 1917

"Jeanne" is a 1917 photographic portrait by American artist Morton Schamberg, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The image depicts a young girl, likely Jeanne, dressed in a simple garment, standing in a room bathed in a soft, diffused light. Her pose is relaxed, her gaze downcast, creating a sense of quiet contemplation. The photograph's muted tones and focus on form, along with the soft light, are characteristic of Pictorialism, a photographic movement that emphasized artistic expression and emotionality. Schamberg's work stands out for its subtle beauty and evocation of a sense of intimacy.
