Height: 17 in (43.2 cm), Width: 14¼ in (36.2 cm), including frame
Provenance: Joyal Arnold, Honolulu, Hawaii
Studio portrait photographs of Hawaiian hula dancers were produced throughout the territorial period for commercial and personal use, combining Hollywood glamour photography conventions with the distinctively Hawaiian subject of the dancer in costume and flower adornment. This portrait depicts a young Hawaiian woman in hula attire with a flower in her hair, lit and composed in the three-quarter style of 1940s professional studio photography, presented in its original frame in collectible condition. The Honolulu provenance through Joyal Arnold connects this piece to the local Hawaiian collecting community.
