Capri_ Women doing housework c. 1890 - 1900

"Capri_ Women doing housework" is a photographic work by American photographer James Winthrop Holcombe, created circa 1890-1900. The work, currently held in the Städel Museum, features three women, each captured in a separate photograph, arranged in a triptych format. These images offer a glimpse into the lives of women in Capri during this period, with their traditional attire and domestic activities. Holcombe's work, often focusing on capturing daily life, provides a valuable historical record of the people and places he encountered.
