Geertsema Girl and Friends on an Outing c. 1900

"Geertsema Girl and Friends on an Outing" is a snapshot photograph by A.C.M. Geertsema, dated circa 1900. This intimate, informal image depicts two women in long dresses, possibly a family, walking on a wooden beam in a park setting. The snapshot-like quality of the image, with its focus on everyday activity, suggests a personal, amateur photographic style. The small size of the work, measuring only 91 mm by 95 mm, contributes to its intimate and personal nature. The photograph provides a glimpse into the leisure activities of women at the turn of the 20th century.
