Edith Reynolds 1908

"Edith Reynolds" is a 1908 portrait painting by American artist Robert Henri (1865–1929). The work depicts Edith Reynolds, an individual whose identity remains unknown, standing against a dark background. She wears a simple brown dress and a demure expression. Henri's style, characterized by realism and an emphasis on everyday subjects, captures Edith's quiet dignity and natural beauty, echoing the Ashcan School movement's focus on urban life and working-class people. The painting is a striking example of Henri's mastery of portraiture, using subtle brushstrokes to convey depth and texture.
