1910 1910s Braid Costume Dance Dutch Margaret Secret Agent World War I Hari Mata Zelle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Mata Hari, a woman of many talents and secrets. Born Gertrud Margaret Zelle in the Netherlands, she adopted the stage name Mata Hari to embark on a career as a dancer. Her mesmerizing performance style and distinctive braid are beautifully captured in this oil over photograph piece from 1910. However, there was more to Mata Hari than met the eye. Behind her glamorous facade lay a hidden life as a spy during World War I. With her charm and allure, she became an infamous secret agent who used her position as an exotic dancer to gather intelligence for various countries. In this portrait, Mata Hari's piercing gaze hints at the depths of mystery that surrounded her persona. The combination of her elaborate costume and confident posture reflects both her Dutch heritage and early success as a performer. As one examines this artwork, it is impossible not to be drawn into the world of Mata Hari – a world filled with intrigue, danger, and espionage. This image serves as a reminder of how women have played significant roles throughout history even when their contributions were shrouded in secrecy. Granger Art on Demand has expertly preserved this historical moment through their high-quality print reproduction. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty captured by 140_1650131's lens and the complex story behind Mata Hari's extraordinary life.
