Stieglitz took this picture of Georgia O'Keeffe near the beginning of their relationship. He would go on to create over 300 photographs of her from 1917–1937, which together produced a composite portrait. Over time, these intimate photos began to influence how people viewed O'Keeffe's paintings.
Alfred Stieglitz afirmaba que exigir que una sola imagen sea “un retrato completo de cualquier persona es tan inútil como exigir que una película se condense en un solo fotograma.” Tomó esta foto de Georgia O'Keeffe casi al principio de su relación, y después, entre 1917 y 1937, seguiría sacándole otras más de 300 fotografías que en conjunto, produjeron un retrato compuesto. Con el tiempo, estas fotografías íntimas empezaron a inflfluir en la forma en que la gente veía los cuadros de O'Keeffe.
