Twee vrouwen in het raamkozijn van een dakraam c. 1889 - 1895

This photograph by A.Th. Baert captures two women in a dormer window, framed within the architecture. The sepia tones and the composition draw us into a study of space and perspective. Notice how the window acts as a frame within a frame, creating layers of depth. The women are positioned at the threshold between interior and exterior, their presence carefully arranged within this divide. The photograph's composition uses the geometry of the window to organize the visual field. We are invited to consider the liminal space they occupy. This positioning challenges conventional notions of inside and outside. The interplay between the subjects and their environment is a semiotic game of signs, inviting interpretation. The women are not merely subjects, but elements within a complex visual language. Their placement and the geometry of the architectural features open up layers of meaning.
