The portraits of Lillian Marcuson and Nina de Voogh invoke a more powerful woman, one whose authority is conveyed both through her regal posture as well as the angular and commanding fashion of the day. The women's bold accessories, sumptuous fabrics, and delicate facial features create a juxtaposition of light and dark, often visible only in the shadows of the fabrics Horst so masterfully illuminates.
