Marlene Dietrich (1901 - 1992). 1931. Vintage gelatin silver print. 34,5 x 27 cm. This image is one of the earliest taken of Marlene Dietrich when she went to Hollywood in 1930. During her first year there, Josef von Sternberg often directed photographic sittings with her. Sternberg's meticulous attention to lighting and composition gave these earlier works by Eugene Robert Richee a signature look. Later when Dietrich's collaboration with von Sternberg ended, Richee continued to take her portraits which retained the look of the von Sternberg originals. – Corners slightly bumped, creases in upper left corner and a few light pressure marks, stronger handling crease in lower right edge, oxidation mirroring in edges, stronger in lower edge, otherwise in good condition.
