About the Item

This 16" x 13" black and white vintage photograph captures the side profile of an indigenous South American woman. The portrait is a 3/4 length portrait, depicting the figure from just above the knee and up, with her head positioned just slightly below the top of the print. The figure is positioned on the left side of the composition looking straight on, but is facing the right side, showing the viewer her side profile. She appears to be lost in conversation as her mouth is slightly ajar, and her eyes seem to be focused on someone or something not captured within the composition. The woman leans her back upon a wall crossing her arms as she leans against the wall, capturing a candid and informal stance and highlighting the fact that she seems to be preoccupied and unaware of the photographer. Her hair is in a long braid that reaches her lower back and is intertwined with cloth. The woman wears a dress with the common textile patterns found in the clothing of South American culture and an apron is wrapped around her waist. In the background is a table with a weaving instrument suggesting she is resting from her work at the machine. Another figure's hand emerges from the right side of the photograph and is placed upon the table depicted in the background, creating a sense of mystery and imagination. The contrast of the darkness of the weaving room and the white ribbon and apron of the woman is striking in its composition. The print is framed in a black wooden frame.

'Seated Female Nude, ' by Paul Wingo, Charcoal/Conte Drawing
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This beautiful framed black and white large scale study of a young female model seated looking away from the viewer, 'Seated Female Nude' captures and embraces the human form. Wingo approaches the nude figure with energetic line and play of light and shadow in a monochromatic palette. " I have been an Artist for many years. I received my Masters in Fine Art from Wichita State University, in Wichita, Kansas. I have taught art for many years. My work is intentionally loose in rendering, the purpose is to engage the memory of the viewer. I believe that the Artist should lead the viewer to make conclusions of their own. At a distance I have been told that my work appears photographic, yet, upon closer examination the viewer is often surprised to find how much detail their minds-eye has added to the image. I currently reside in Norwalk, Connecticut." -- Paul Wingo

Mujer De Santiago by James Sparshatt. Portrait photograph. Silver Gelatin Print
By James Sparshatt
Located in Coltishall, GB
A woman of Santiago de Cuba. The Spirit of the Revolution series documents the generation of Cubans that saw the dramatic changes of 1959 as young adults. They have a strength of character and underlying humour that transcends the struggle that has defined their lives. James Sparshatt went to Cuba in 1999 and was so taken with the island and its people that he returned 15 times in the following 7 years. His images are largely of the music and dance and innate rhythm of the island but he also found himself drawn to an older generation that had been old enough to understand the revolution in 1959, that lived through 40 years of tumultuous and often difficult times and who now watch with some bemusement the return of the outside world in wave upon wave of tourists. James Sparshatt’s photographs of the “Revolutionary” generation of Cubans capture their grit and indominatable spirit. The black and white portrait...
