Homeward Possibly 1894 - 1896

"Homeward" is a photo by Alfred Stieglitz, likely created between 1894 and 1896. This evocative image captures a rural scene with a dirt road lined by a row of trees leading towards a group of goats. The lone figure in the distance adds a sense of solitude and emphasizes the peaceful tranquility of the moment. Stieglitz's work is known for its sharp focus and attention to detail, which he employed to capture the beauty of everyday scenes. This photograph showcases Stieglitz's early interest in Pictorialism, a style of photography that emphasized artistic expression and aimed to elevate the medium to the level of fine art.
