Here we have a striking portrait tited "Manelito de la María", a flamenco figure captured by George Krause (-1937, Philadelphia) in southern Spain in 1964. Krause, renowned for his high-contrast, minimalist black-and-white imagery, frames Manelito in dramatic chiaroscuro—his face and weathered skin, emerging from deep shadow under a wide-brimmed hat.
