A singer identified as Marie Sundelius is shown at a piano, a setting that suggests a rehearsal or accompanied recital rather than a staged performance. Sundelius, a Swedish-born soprano, built her career in the United States in the early twentieth century, when concert and opera singers were frequent subjects for commercial news photographers. The Bain News Service, which made this glass negative, supplied pictures of New York public figures and events to newspapers, and its collection offers a broad view of the period. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded and has not been independently verified, so the exact occasion is uncertain.
