This 1938 portrait records Madame Leon Orlowski, sitting for a studio session dated October 20, 1938. It was made by Harris & Ewing, the Washington, D.C., studio founded in 1905 by George W. Harris and Richard Lee Ewing. The firm became known for formal portraits of government officials, diplomats, and Washington society, and its negatives, now held by the Library of Congress, offer a broad view of the capital's people and fashions between the wars. The record does not say more about the sitter, so the portrait is best read as a dated example of the studio's posed commercial work from that period.
