Title
Photograph of two men playing cards, with a woman knitting.
Description
Photograph of two men playing cards on a bench by the fire, with a woman knitting, Aran Islands. The woman is Bridget Johnston. She sits in the alcove of the hearth, in the left foreground. She wears a long dark skirt, an Aran sweater and a black scarf, crossed across her chest, and knits. The man with the bobble hat is Patcheen Faherty. The men sit on either side of the bench, which has three lots of cards on it. Patcheen sits on a wooden stool in the right foreground. His face is in shadow and his right hand is a blur over the bench. The second man, in the centre foreground facing right, holds his cards low in his hands. Behind them is the hearth, in an alcove, with a frying pan hanging in it. A second frying pan leans against the wall below the first. An oil lamp hangs on the wall in the right background.
