This is a black and white studio portrait of Germaine Urtebise by renowned photographer René Lonthie, likely taken between 1920 and 1925. Urtebise stands against a plain backdrop, wearing a fashionable dress with a voluminous skirt and a delicate pearl necklace. Lonthie’s photographic style is evident in the careful composition, the soft lighting, and the elegant pose of his subject. The photograph is a testament to Lonthie's skill as a portrait photographer, capturing Urtebise’s beauty and style with a timeless elegance.
Comments
These photographs were part of a portfolio Mrs Brusse-Urtebise put together for her career in modelling. She wears a dress with a full skirt, known as a robe de style, which was fashionable in the 1920s. The fulllength photograph resembles Lonthie’s fashion shots. However, it is unclear whether this was one of them or a portrait photograph.
