The title on this print is Fe Alf, and its caption card is tagged under dance, though no date or further biography has been recorded. Arnold Genthe, the German-born photographer who worked in San Francisco before moving to New York, built his reputation in the early 1900s with portraits of dancers, actors, and other performers. His studio portraits often relied on soft light and plain backdrops to emphasize gesture and line, so the pose and posture are worth studying closely.
