[Ysaye, Eugene. (1858–1931)] Conti, Bianca. (1874?–1954). Original 1913 Photograph. Evocative original photograph of the great violinist holding his instrument and bow, photographed ca. 1913 and signed at the lower left by the San Francisco photographer, Bianca Conti, an associate of Arnold Genthe. Affixed to a rigid mount (likely by the photographer), small nicks to edges and small hole to the lower right corner, mounting remnants on the verso. 7.95 x 9.75 inches.
Carl Flesch called Ysaye "the most outstanding and individual violinist I have ever heard in my life," and he was the dedicatee of many major works from Debussy, Saint-Saens, Franck, Chausson and others.
