Photograph 1910

This black and white photograph, taken in 1910 by American realist painter Thomas Eakins, captures a woman in a white dress standing in a garden. The subject holds a white fan over her head, a common accessory in early 20th century fashion. Eakins is known for his realistic portrayals of people and their environments, and his photography often captured candid moments in a naturalistic style. This photograph demonstrates Eakins' interest in capturing everyday life and capturing the beauty of ordinary subjects.
