About this work

This photo shows a woman sitting on a bench or chair, wrapped in a heavy fur coat and hat. Her arms rest on the armrest, and her legs are crossed. The background is dark, almost black, making her the only clear figure. The soft lighting and blurry edges give it a dreamy, slightly fuzzy look—like an early photo. This style was common in the late 1800s. Next, check out Clarence H. White (American, 1871–1925) to see more of his work.
