Description

Harlem’s preeminent portrait photographer James Van Der Zee portrayed people as they wish to be remembered. Mrs. Edith Milburn, possibly the sitter second from the left, commissioned this formal group portrait, set in an elegant home on West 138th Street in Harlem.
Black-and-white photograph of four people with medium-light skin tones wearing dresses and strings of beads or pearls in an interior. On our right, one sits facing and looking to our left, another standing behind and looking the same direction. The third sits central, facing us and looking slightly to the right. On our left, the fourth person stands facing our right, placing one hand on the back of a chair and leaning on a cabinet in front of a window.
