About this work

This photo shows two people lying on grass, tangled together. One wears a short-sleeved shirt and dark pants, while the other has on a light button-up shirt and rolled-up pants. A bicycle wheel is nearby, and one person holds a camera. The scene looks casual, almost like they fell or flopped down in the dirt. The camera suggests one person might be a photographer. The clothes look like the 1930s—simple, practical, and a little rumpled. Check out dahl-wolfe, louise next—she took this photo in 1938.
