Wow!
Please tell me that this is a woman doing this. I wouldn’t mind if it was a guy but it would tickle the hell out of me if it is a woman in 1899.
It so looks like a woman! Like her hair is escaping from a bun, and the coat looks cinched in at the waist. Great picture!
I looked it up and it is a woman and it’s thought that it is the photographer’s daughter.
I want her coat!
Yes!

The composition of this image couldn’t be better if she had painted it on the page! That is ART.
