Description

This black and white portrait captures an elderly woman wearing a patterned traditional kimono with a wide sash. She stands outdoors in a gravel courtyard, pointing upward with her right hand while looking off to the side with a serious expression. Lush flowering bushes frame the upper left and right sides of the composition, while a textured rustic building exterior with a dark arched opening forms the background. The natural daylight casts clear shadows, highlighting the intricate texture of the kimono fabric and the surrounding foliage. The image was photographed in Berlin by Matthias Ziegler.
