Thistle Brown, Photographer, New York

Description

This diptych-style image presents contrasting scenes. On the left, a fair-skinned woman with blond hair is submerged in a bathtub filled with bubbles, wearing sunglasses. She is partially visible amidst the foam. On the right, a white plate with a gold rim sits on a white surface, presumably a bedsheet. The plate is inscribed with 'Welcome Back Mr. Brown' in chocolate, and adorned with chocolate shavings. A pair of sunglasses rests atop the plate. The photograph is bathed in diffused lighting, with an indoor setting.
