A Bain News Service glass negative, the caption identifies its subject as Countess Moltke Huitfeldt, formerly Miss Bonaparte, a name that points to the Bonaparte family's connections with European aristocracy after the Napoleonic era. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data that Bain's staff wrote on the negatives or cards. Bain's agency photographed New York society, theater, and public figures in the early twentieth century, so the portrait likely reflects that busy trade in celebrity and social portraiture. The 8 by 10 inch plate size was common for studio and press work of the period.
