Capturing the Melancholy of Youth: A Glimpse into Psychological Reflection". In this photo print, titled "AVQ-A-000047-0155" we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a young woman, her delicate features illuminated by the soft glow of a candle. She holds a sheet music, specifically Nocturne, postcard with utmost care and reverence. The setting is adorned with elements of wood furnishings, including an intricately designed chair that adds an air of elegance to the scene. These objects belong to the realm of applied arts and crafts, showcasing their significance in civic spaces. Beyond its visual appeal lies a deeper exploration into human psychology. The portrait captures not only physical attributes but also delves into psychological aspects such as reflection and meditation. The young woman's pensive expression hints at melancholy sadness that resonates with viewers on an emotional level. Her attire further adds layers to our understanding of her character; she wears a veil or headdress reminiscent of civilian or religious fashion from that era. Her hairdo is meticulously styled, reflecting attention to detail and societal norms prevalent during those times. The presence of sheet music signifies her connection to music—an art form known for evoking emotions—highlighting her individuality within society. It serves as both a means of communication and personal expression. This photograph invites us to contemplate the complexities inherent in youth—the interplay between physiological development and psychological behavior—a theme beautifully captured by the unidentified author behind this timeless piece. As we gaze upon this enigmatic portrait frozen in time between 1910-1920, we are reminded once again how art can transport us across generations while offering glimpses into universal human experiences.
