Meisje met hoed, staande in een bos 1901 - 1905

Alfred Stieglitz's "Meisje met hoed, staande in een bos" is a striking example of his Pictorialist style photography. Created between 1901 and 1905, the image captures a young girl in a white dress and hat, standing in a woodland setting. Stieglitz masterfully uses soft focus and a subtle, dreamy quality to evoke a sense of innocence and wonder, while the use of natural light and the framing of the subject create a sense of intimacy and stillness, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the artwork. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Stieglitz's pioneering role in elevating photography to a fine art form.
