Horst P. Horst's work is characterized by his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, whether they were iconic Hollywood stars, fashion models, or cultural luminaries. His portraits exude a sense of sophistication, marked by careful attention to lighting, composition, and detail. Here he captured fellow photographer Irving Penn in a relaxed and personable pose. – Stronger crease in right margin and slightly into image, handling dent in lower area, otherwise a fine tonal print in very good condition.
