"The Sketch." 1902. Beatrice Baxter Ruyl in Newport, Rhode Island. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative by Gertrude Käsebier. View full size.
She was a well-known children's book illustrator and photographic model.
Such a wonderful capture.
Her profile reminds me so much of Elizabeth Hurley...
She's astonishing, a day after I first saw this I'm still at a loss for words....
This picture looks as if it were taken yesterday. Somehow, she has a loose, comfortable, contemporary look and feel about her that's not seen in many pictures from this era. This is truly an amazing picture.
Beautiful. Photo and woman.
