Käsebier was a pioneering Pictorialist photographer who, like Stieglitz, used platinum printing to achieve soft tonal gradations in intimate portrait work. Her psychological sensitivity to her subjects and her mastery of the platinum process make her portraits strikingly similar in mood and technique to this piece.

A close colleague of Stieglitz and fellow Photo Secession member, Steichen created early 20th century platinum and palladium portraits with the same intimate, contemplative quality and subtle monochromatic tonal range seen in this work. His figural portraits share the same psychological depth and early modernist sensibility.

White was a leading American Pictorialist photographer whose platinum print portraits share the same intimate figural focus, delicate tonal subtlety, and introspective mood present in this Stieglitz portrait. His commitment to the platinum process and psychological characterization of subjects aligns closely with the qualities of this specific work.
