Vrouw en meisje in tuin 1892 - 1928

This print is called "Vrouw en meisje in tuin" by Johannes Löhr. It's made with tiny, feathery marks, that almost seem to itch. It's like he's scratching away at the plate, creating a world of light and shadow. I can imagine Löhr out in his garden, squinting in the sunlight, trying to capture the feeling of a lazy summer afternoon. The woman in the rocking chair, she's so still, almost swallowed by the foliage. And the little girl, crouched over, lost in her own world. There’s this real sense of intimacy, of being invited into a private moment. It reminds me of the prints of Pierre Bonnard, this focus on domestic life, the quiet beauty of the everyday. Artists are always looking at each other, across time, learning, and stealing ideas. It's like one big, never-ending conversation. And me, well, I'm just happy to be eavesdropping.
