Edward Leiter 1927

Alice Pike Barney was a prominent American portrait painter. She was known for her works depicting society figures and individuals. "Edward Leiter" from 1927 is a striking example of her skill. The portrait captures the sitter's gaze, emphasizing his intensity. The use of soft pastels creates a delicate rendering of features and the subtle shading on the garment adds depth. This work reflects Barney's ability to convey not only the likeness of the subject but also his personality and essence.
