The Album -- a Homage to Vermeer

Yet another evocation of Vermeer...

 

On her daughter's 49th birthday a grandmother brings out her family album created long ago by her own grandmother. The lady has produced a wonderful document, part genealogy, part memoire, based on the photographs from this cherished fragile volume.

 

The image was at the limit of my iPhone Obscura's capability under ceiling lights, but the softness only brings more to my mind a few of Vermeer's famous and beautiful paintings of women totally absorbed with objects close at hand.
