About this work

This photo shows two blurry figures sitting on a rooftop at dusk. One leans forward, hands clasped, while the other sits still, facing away. Below them, a cityscape stretches out with faint outlines of buildings and a river. The light is soft, almost faded, making details hard to see. The handwritten note calls it *"After Meryon - Le Stryge,"* which might hint at an old printmaker’s style. The title suggests something eerie—*"Le Stryge"* was a ghostly figure in folklore. Look up Coburn, Alvin Langdon to see how he blended photography and mood.
