Are We Downhearted?
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative image of a traditional Dutch couple, radiating happiness and contentment as they stroll arm in arm through a sunlit landscape. The photograph, created by the talented British artist Ethel Parkinson in 1915, invites us to ponder the depth of their joy and the strength of their connection. The couple's attire is quintessentially Dutch, with the man wearing a traditional volkskostume, or folk costume, featuring a high collar, long-sleeved shirt, and knee-length breeches. His hat, adorned with a rosette and a feather, adds a touch of elegance to his outfit. The woman, equally charming in her traditional dress, wears a high-waisted, full-skirted gown with a lace apron and a headscarf, her smile reflecting the sun's warmth and the joy in her heart. The composition of the photograph is masterful, with the couple positioned against a backdrop of rolling hills and a vibrant, blooming garden. The soft, muted colors and the gentle, natural lighting further emphasize the peaceful and idyllic atmosphere, inviting us to imagine a simpler, more harmonious time. Ethel Parkinson's "Are We Downhearted?" is not only a beautiful and nostalgic depiction of a happy Dutch couple but also a testament to the enduring power of love and connection. The photograph's timeless appeal and the warmth of the couple's embrace remind us of the importance of cherishing the moments of happiness and joy in our own lives.
