Description

This striking monochrome portrait features Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg captured in a tight bust-length frame. She wears distinctive dark-rimmed eyeglasses, textured circular earrings, and a dark garment accented by an intricate, patterned embroidered collar featuring beaded fringe and a central pearl-like embellishment. The lighting creates strong directional highlights and deep shadows across her face, emphasizing expression and facial detail. The background is a neutral, seamless grey tone. This editorial portrait was photographed by Michael Avedon in New York.
