This is a black and white contemporary portrait photograph of a female nude by Leonard Freed, Kate Resting, is in the photographer's series "Kate". A 20" x 16" gelatin silver photograph signed verso (back of photo) by the Freed estate (provenance).

The self-assigned photo series on Kate became a welcome reprieve for Leonard Freed who during a long photo career tackled subjects for which he became well-known as a social-documentary photographer in the USA. Model Kate remains complicit with the photographer's vision and is playful in striking dramatic poses.

Provenance: Freed Estate
