Portrait of Alfred Stieglitz 1902

Gertrude Kasebier's 1902 "Portrait of Alfred Stieglitz" is a striking example of Pictorialism. Stieglitz, a prominent photographer, is captured with a direct gaze and a confident posture, emphasizing his personality. The soft focus, subtle brushstrokes, and textured background create a painterly effect, demonstrating the artistic aspirations of the movement. Kasebier's work, often focused on women and children, shows her mastery of composition and emotional depth.
