Interior Detail of a Portuguese House 1930

"Interior Detail of a Portuguese House" is a 1930 photograph by American photographer Walker Evans, known for his stark, realistic depictions of everyday life. The image captures a corner of a home, showcasing the details of a simple, domestic interior. The focus is on the objects and textures - a potted plant, a mirror, a small table, and a stack of books - arranged with an almost minimalist aesthetic. The photograph, taken during the Great Depression, reveals the modest interior of a Portuguese home in New England, exemplifying Evans's commitment to documenting the lives of ordinary people.
