I included the photographers name in this one because this goes beyond an ordinary documentary.
I liked this one in that it was a couple sharing tea. Made in 1936, they dressed up for the shot, nice light though a bit bright. The address is still there, you can sort of see the courtyard in Bing map search.
Originally I colored in the lady in the back. But the more I stared, the less I liked her. She seems confused and lost, like she didn't belong. An extra chair, the wrong size for the table, there would be no place for her to sit. She just sort of looked like she wandered into their yard and bombed the shot. So I took her out. She interrupted the flow, lined up with the girl, and while I liked the parasol, she was out of place.
Now it's grandma and grand daughter sharing a spot of tea in the afternoon. And the story explains why there is an extra chair in an odd place and 3 tea cups.
