Composite of four portraits of Teresa Kirbe, Los Angeles

Description:
This image is a composite of four images of the actress Teresa Kirbe. In the top left image, she is dressed as a Spanish nobleman. In the top right she is dressed as a Spanish woman, wearing a mantilla. In the bottom right, she is dressed in contemporary style with drop earrings. In the bottom left she is dressed in a historical costume, wearing a crown.
