About the Item

Lilo Winterstein – Studio Portrait of Hildegard Knef, circa 1958 – Vintage Print This elegant studio portrait captures the legendary German actress and chanson singer Hildegard Knef in the late 1950s, photographed by Lilo Winterstein at her renowned Studio Winterstein. Dressed in a historically inspired costume with delicate lace sleeves and a deep neckline, Knef radiates the poise and charisma that made her a post-war icon of German cinema and music. The subtle lighting and artfully blurred background evoke a theatrical atmosphere, placing Knef in a timeless moment of grace and introspection. This vintage silver gelatin print, measuring 11.8 x 16.7 cm, is a rare collector's piece from a key period in her career. About Photographer Lilo Winterstein Lilo Winterstein was a prominent German portrait photographer, active from the 1940s to the 1960s. Based in Berlin, she ran the influential Studio Winterstein, which specialized in high-quality studio portraits of film stars, stage performers, and public figures. Winterstein's work stood out for its refined use of lighting and her ability to bring out both elegance and emotional nuance in her sitters. While less internationally known than contemporaries like Yva or Regina Relang, she played a vital role in shaping the post-war photographic image of German cinema. Her portraits—especially of women—are noted for their modernity, theatrical elegance, and clarity.
