1925 Vintage photograph of the model Sunita Devi as she was posing for artist Jacob Epstein in his studio. She was billed as the perfect woman and sculpted numerous times before her tragic death in 1932 for political reasons in India. He figure and face have been viewed by millions and perhaps even billions of people, with this being the only original photograph of the model and muse we have ever seen! The photo was issued by Maurice Beck and Helen MacGregor, famous London photographers, and it presents well with note to a crease at the right side and pinholes from editorial use. An important piece of art that is being offered here for the first time ever!
