Untitled c. 20th century

This black and white photograph, titled "Untitled" by Lewis Hine, depicts an elderly woman seated in a bed. Taken sometime during the 20th century, the image highlights Hine's focus on social documentary photography. Hine was renowned for his work documenting the lives of working-class Americans, particularly children, during the early 20th century. The photograph's intimate composition and the woman's somber expression evoke a sense of vulnerability and hardship. The simple setting, with its white bed linens and a lone plant on a bedside table, amplifies the subject's isolation and emphasizes the human condition.
