Lot 921: An Early 20th-Century Framed Photographic Portrait of a Woman
An early 20th-century black and white photographic portrait depicting a woman in three-quarter profile. The subject is shown wearing a dark dress with a prominent lace collar and a brooch. The photograph is housed behind glass within a wide, dark-stained wooden frame featuring a beaded inner border and a thin gold-toned slip. A contemporary white auction lot label for Mundays Auction Rooms, bearing the number 921, is affixed to the left side of the frame. While the subject bears a physical resemblance to documented portraits of Susan B. Anthony, and the style is consistent with the work of early 20th-century studios such as the J.E. Hale Studio, no signatures or studio marks are visible to confirm a specific attribution or the identity of the sitter.
