Kitty Stieglitz

1907

"Kitty Stieglitz" is an autochrome portrait by Alfred Stieglitz depicting his daughter Kitty in warm, naturalistic tones characteristic of the early color photographic process. The autochrome medium, which used potato starch and color separation techniques, allowed Stieglitz to capture subtle color nuances while maintaining the intimacy and detail typical of his photographic work. This portrait exemplifies Stieglitz's mastery of the autochrome process during the early 20th century and his commitment to advancing photography as a fine art medium.
