This iconic black and white photograph, Albert Einstein (1947), captures a close-up portrait of the theoretical physicist, with his intense, weathered features and signature unruly white hair, looking directly into the camera. The print exhibits the rich tonal range and dramatic contrast characteristic of Halsman's mastery in studio lighting. A key feature of this unique presentation is the accompanying mounting board, which is hand-signed by Albert Einstein in blue ink and includes a small typed label. The photograph itself is stamped by the photographer on the verso.
