Product description
Shadows and silver light define the intense gaze of a Hollywood legend in this 1939 studio portrait. The composition centers on the actress seated in an elegant striped chair, adorned with ornate dark gemstone jewelry that contrasts sharply against her light, textured bodice.
About Bette Davis
Bette Davis (1908–1989) was a two-time Oscar winner famous for All About Eve. Portrait photographers often worked closely with their famous sitters to create a defining image. The original image dates from 1939. Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time.
Styling this Bette Davis photograph
Black-and-white tones give this Bette Davis photograph a moody character that holds a room. Its square composition suits gallery walls and shelves, printed on a standard size with a balanced border. Because this Bette Davis photograph is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look. Build a gallery wall around this Bette Davis photograph: add two or three smaller prints that echo its black-and-white and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
