Portfolio II, Plate 59: Judith-Mohave is a 1903 by Edward S. Curtis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This photo shows a young person with long, wavy hair and a serious expression. They’re wearing a beaded necklace and a simple cloth draped over one shoulder. The background is plain and dark, keeping all the focus on them. The name in the corner reads *Judith-Mohave*, which suggests this person is from the Mohave community. The photo feels quiet and direct, like a moment caught in time. If you want to learn more about how photos like this were made, look into chiaroscuro.
Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952) was an American artist.
