Vrouwen, kinderen, bomen en drogend wasgoed bij een sloot in Uitwellingerga c. 1905 - 1907

"Vrouwen, kinderen, bomen en drogend wasgoed bij een sloot in Uitwellingerga" (Women, children, trees and drying laundry by a ditch in Uitwellingerga) is a photograph by Dutch photographer Folkert Idzes de Jong, taken around 1905-1907. The image captures a serene rural scene, showcasing a small village in the Netherlands. The composition is centered on a narrow ditch running through the scene, bordered by trees and a wooden fence. Several figures, presumably women and children, are visible in the foreground, suggesting a sense of daily life and community. This photograph exemplifies de Jong's penchant for documenting everyday life in his native Friesland, capturing the essence of rural Dutch society in the early 20th century.
