Vrouw in klederdracht met breiwerk, staande tussen kale bomen 1920 - 1940

This sepia photograph shows a woman in traditional dress knitting, set against a backdrop of bare trees, made by G. Hidderley. The limited palette creates a sense of quiet reflection. The texture isn't just in what’s depicted, like the wool she's working with, but in the very feel of the print itself. It makes you wonder about the process: was it a perfectly controlled technique, or did chance play a part? Maybe a little bit of both. Look closely at the way the light catches the edges of her clothing, and how it softens the lines of the trees. It reminds me of the work of Julia Margaret Cameron, or other early photographers who were trying to capture something more than just a likeness. They were exploring the emotional possibilities of the medium. It’s this kind of ambiguity that keeps me coming back to art. It's not about answers, but about possibilities.
