Observations

The style is a dark, highly realistic fashion-editorial portrait treatment built around monumental black garments, oversized feathered hats, ruffles, and sculptural silhouettes. Muted studio backgrounds, strong tonal separation, restrained black-and-ivory color, and carefully rendered textile textures give the portraits a dramatic, ornate, almost theatrical presence.
