A large-scale chromogenic colour print by Thomas Ruff, this work belongs to his seminal *Porträt* series in which the artist photographs subjects against a neutral background with an unflinching, passport-like frontality. The subject, Bettina Ebert, is rendered with clinical precision and an absence of psychological expression, reflecting Ruff's interest in the camera's inability to reveal inner identity despite its documentary appearance. Presented in the artist's own wooden frame, the work underscores Ruff's deliberate authorial control over the physical object and its presentation.
