Nothing is readily found on the photographer Newell Arnsby, though a brief mention of someone by that name in Los Angeles in 1936 suggests this may have been an American artist. If you have information on Newell Arnsby, we would love to learn more about who created this intriguing piece, which suggests a woman at prayer or meditation, nude save for a veil trimed in beads.
