Description
Photograph of woman and a man sitting by the hearth on a stool, Aran Islands. The woman is Bridget Johnston. She wears a long dark skirt, an Aran sweater and a black scarf, crossed across her chest. She sits in the alcove of the hearth, in the left foreground, leaning foreward with a frying pan and a utensil in her hands. Using the utensil, she shifts the food in the pan. A black kettle hangs above the turf fire. A second pan hangs to the right above the fire. The man, Patcheen Faherty, sits on a stool by the right of the heath. He wears a dark cable knit jumper, dark trousers and a bobble hat. Part of a wheel, probably a spinning wheel, dominates the right of the photo.
