Salon portrait of Leona Bertrand dressed as a seer (clairvoyant). Bertrand wears a sheer white dress and veil draped over her head and shoulders - the veil secured by an elaborate band evoking an Egyptian crown. Bertrand sits on the floor striking a far way look, hands clasped over her heart. She is back lit for dramatic effect. An urn sits on an elaborately carved pedestal at left. Curtains and an Oriental tapestry embroidered with floral designs hang in the background.
Bertrand was a Cuban born dramatics teacher, residing in 1938 at 115 Wadsworth in Ocean Park. The city directory lists her as a dramatics teacher with Fern Severance (a drama, music and voice teacher). Severance resided (and most likely taught lessons) at 73 Market Street in Venice. Bertrand was probably photographed at this location (see images ark nos. 21198/zz002d6k62 and 21198/zz002d6k83).
