About this work

This black-and-white photograph depicts a woman in a flowing robe, seated on the back of a large bird. She is barefoot and holds a scale in her right hand, with her left arm raised to adjust the scale's balance. The woman's hair is tied back, and she wears a headband. The bird, possibly a goose or swan, faces left, with its long neck and legs visible. The woman's gaze is directed downward, and her expression is calm. The background of the photograph is dark, which helps to accentuate the subject. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of serenity and balance. This photograph is reminiscent of the work of artist 756_person, who is known for their use of chiaroscuro to create dramatic and balanced compositions.
