Place of origin |
Unmounted black and white photograph of landscape proportions, showing a girl in a swimming pool. She wears a round-necked dark swimming costume and small stud earrings; her arms, head and shoulders have emerged from the water, and she is ejecting water from her mouth while bending her ears forward with her fingers (an effect reminiscent of a 'mask' wall fountain, and popular among schoolchildren).
