EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic beauty and youthful sadness of Marguerite Risser, an American actress active during the early 1910s. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on February 9, 1915, the image showcases Risser's striking long hair styled in loose waves that cascade down her back, framing her delicate features and expressive face. With a direct gaze that seems to penetrate the very soul, Risser's melancholic expression invites the viewer to ponder the depths of her emotions. The photograph, a glass negative, is a testament to the artistry of Genthe, who masterfully captured the essence of his subject with exquisite detail and nuance. The image, titled "Miss Marguerite Risser," is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage of American entertainment and the captivating performers who graced the stages and screens of the early 20th century. The portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of historical and cultural artifacts that reflect the diverse tapestry of American history. This hauntingly beautiful image of Marguerite Risser, with its timeless quality and enduring allure, continues to captivate and inspire viewers more than a century after it was first captured by Genthe's lens.
