Coming from the well, Levka. Photographer: Thomson, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Portrait of a woman walking along a street in Lefka, bearing a terracotta water on her hip: 'The surroundings of the water-carrier in this picture are peculiarly characteristic. Over a rude frame, supported on posts of pine-wood, an old vine spreads its leaves; on the right is an outhouse made of sun-dried bricks; while in the corner a woman is preparing a partition of wattlework for the new building which we see already half-completed in the distance...The pose of the woman in the foreground was taken naturally, and yet she looks like the living model of some Greek statue which might have been found in the adjoining ruins of ancient Soli.'
