Photo portrait of a woman by Arnulf Rabl (German-American, 1942-2016). In this soft portrait, the woman has her head turned slightly down, with closed eyes. There is light striking the side of her face, highlighting her cheek, nose, and lips, creating a stark contrast with the dark background. It is likely that the woman in the photo is Ruth Grdseloff, as she and Rabl were married in 1967.
Artist's stamp and monogram on verso, with date.
Presented in a white mat.

Arnulf Rabl (German-American, 1942-2016) was born in Saarbrucken, Germany, and came to the United States in 1961 to study at Beloit College in Washington as a Fullbright Scholar, focusing on science and mathematics, but pursuing photography as a hobby - he was a member of the "Gold Photography Club" at Beloit. After graduation, Rabl moved to Berkeley, California, where he met his wife Ruth Grdseloff. Rabl continued his scientific work, publishing several papers on electromagnetism in the Physical Review Journal (American Physical Society). Rabl passed away in Bures-Sur-Yvette, France, in 2016.
