A woman identified as Katherine Kaelred stands beside a chair in this 1910 portrait made at the Moffett Studio in Chicago. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work built by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news and feature photographs in the early twentieth century. Because the title comes from caption information the agency recorded, which the Library of Congress notes has not been independently verified, the sitter's name should be read as provisional. Studio portraits like this one were common in Chicago in the 1910s, and they show the posed, formal conventions of the period.
