This black and white photograph, taken in 1933 by an anonymous artist, captures two women seated beneath a tree near the city of Bandung, Indonesia. The composition emphasizes the natural setting, with the figures partially obscured by foliage and sunlight filtering through the branches. The image, likely a snapshot, showcases the casual snapshot photography popular in the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of Dutch women in colonial Indonesia. The small dimensions of the photo suggest it may have been a personal memento, highlighting the personal and intimate nature of everyday photography.
