Loentje Onnen met vrienden in Hilversum, onder twee mensen, aangeduid als Ril en Clemens, op een tennisbaan langs de Utrechtseweg 1912

This is a vintage photograph by Carolina (Loentje) Frederika Onnen, capturing Loentje with friends in Hilversum. It's a sepia-toned image, a snapshot really, that feels like a memory half-forgotten. The photograph has that soft, aged quality. It's not about sharp details, but more about a mood, a moment captured in time. The light is diffused, giving everything a gentle, almost dreamlike feel. Look at the way the figures are arranged; it's informal, natural. It's like they were just caught in a candid moment. There's a real sense of spontaneity, of life unfolding in front of the camera. The image feels intimate, personal. It's like a little glimpse into their world. The simplicity and directness reminds me of the work of early photographers like Julia Margaret Cameron. Both artists share that ability to capture something essential about their subjects, a sense of presence that transcends time.
