Man en vrouw met twee kinderen before 1901

"Man en vrouw met twee kinderen" is a black and white photograph created before 1901 by British photographer Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. The image depicts a man, woman and two children standing on a wooden railing by a river, possibly in Whitby, Yorkshire, a common subject of Sutcliffe's work. The image is characteristic of Sutcliffe's style, which employed a soft focus and a sense of melancholy, focusing on the lives of ordinary people in the late 19th century. This image is part of a larger body of work known as Pictorialism, a movement that celebrated the artistic expression of photography and championed the use of soft focus, tonal range, and composition to create visually compelling images.
