Hugo Erfurth was probably considered to be one of the most important and influential portrait photographers of the Jugendstil era. It was said that he sought to bring out more than the physical image, but traits of personality and soul from his subjects, and that he succeeded! In this portrait of two Wiesenthal sisters...such rapture :) We love it!
The three Wiesenthals, Grete, Berta and Else, may not be as well known today for their influence on dance as say, Isadora Duncan, but just after the turn of the century in Vienna they, and Grete in particular being followed by her two younger sisters, were among a very few notables who left the "court ballet" system behind and courageously carried their art forward to great acclaim.
Wonderful wonderful dance image. Important piece of dance history! Very nice unposted condition.
