Label TextA beauty with a Gibson Girl hairdo poses for a fashionable Boston photography studio. Photography afforded a directness that was less common in paintings, although some of John Singer Sargent's portraits of wealthy young women set a modern tone by portraying them gazing directly at the viewer.
