Judith 1922

Alfred Stieglitz's 1922 photograph "Judith" is a striking example of his signature Pictorialist style. The image captures a plaster bust of Judith, a biblical heroine, against a textured background. The composition is intentionally evocative, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue through the use of soft focus, dramatic lighting, and a subtle interplay of light and shadow. The viewer is left to contemplate the enigmatic nature of the subject and the artist's artistic intent, adding to the inherent depth and complexity of this iconic photograph.
