Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

This portrait features musician and writer Patti Smith leaning against a wooden doorframe in an interior room with paneled walls. She has long grey hair and wears a dark oversized blazer, black trousers, a white t-shirt, and a necklace. Natural side-lighting illuminates her from an adjacent window off-camera, casting soft shadows across the wall and her clothing. The composition is a vertical full-length frame with muted tones and a subdued editorial palette. The Harper's Bazaar logo is visible in the upper left corner of the image.
