1902
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Peacock Feather is a 1902 by Clarence H. White, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image features a woman seated on a chair, her body turned to the right. She wears a long, ruffled dress with her hair pulled back, and a peacock feather is visible in her hand. The scene is set against a backdrop of a room with a rug and a door, although the details of the room are somewhat indistinct. A notable aspect of the image is the way the light falls on the woman's face and dress, creating a sense of depth and texture. The use of light and shadow adds a sense of drama to the scene. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
Clarence Hudson White was an American photographer, teacher and a founding member of the Photo-Secession movement.
