Lot Essay

As a means of reducing the brightness of the skylight in this image, Stieglitz additionally exposed the paper selectively, thereby giving additonal tonality to the ceiling. The margins of the print are thus fogged on the top and sides.

Stieglitz very rarely placed a signature on the print itself.
Another print of this image is in the "key set" collection at the National Gallery.
