The artwork, titled “Vivien Leigh”, was created by artist Philippe Halsman in the year 1946. This work belongs to the genre of photography.
The artwork is a black and white portrait depicting a side profile of a woman with distinct, delicate features. The subject is adorned in attire that appears both formal and elegant, her head modestly covered with a headscarf which frames her face elegantly. The lighting is soft, casting subtle shadows that enhance the contours of her face, giving prominence to her poised expression and the graceful curve of her neckline and shoulders. The photograph’s high contrast and meticulous composition reflect the artist’s adept skill in capturing both the beauty and the essence of his subject.
