Product description
Soft sunlight washes over the high desert landscape, catching the texture of the weathered wooden fence where a young starlet takes a moment of rest. This 1936 Elmer Fryer photograph captures Bette Davis in a rare, informal setting, trading her studio glamour for a plaid work shirt and dark trousers. The composition of This print uses the horizontal lines of the corral and the jagged peaks of the distant mountains to frame a candid expression of quiet confidence.
This image represents a departure from the high-fashion studio portraits typical of the era. It evokes the spirit of the American West and the allure of the ranch lifestyle that many Hollywood stars embraced as an escape from the limelight. There is a tangible sense of freedom in her posture, suggesting a woman who is just as comfortable in the dirt and sun as she is under the bright lights of a soundstage.
Collectors working with classic hollywood photography prints tend to reach for pieces like this, often alongside bette davis prints.
