About this work

This photo shows three people sitting by a shallow stream. They’re wearing simple, loose clothing and look relaxed. In front of them are several clay pots and a woven basket, with rocks scattered around. The background has dry brush and a sloped hillside. The title says this is called *Gossiping – San Juan*, but we can’t hear them talk. The photo feels quiet and real, like a moment frozen in time. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this image in person.
