The yellow jacket

Die gelbe Jacke

 

This breathtaking colour portrait in a style close to that of the painter Gustav Klimt was produced in 1923/24 by the Atelier d'Ora in Vienna. Madame d'Ora (Dora Kallmus) was a most successful high-society photographer. Her atelier (1907-1927) is said to have been among the first to apply the techniques of the pictorialist photographers (here a bromoil print) to studio photography.

 

Seen in March 2023 at the exhibition "Piktorialismus" at the gallery "Albertina modern" in Vienna.

 

Snapped with an HD Pentax-DA 21mm f:3.2 Limited on my trusty Pentax K-1.
