In front of the family home
| Description: | Group portrait of seven smiling people posing in front of a family home in the Vratnik mahalla. The picture is fully taken up by the house, which is captured from an angle that encompasses the gate. The people, lined up in a row, occupy the lower third. In the centre of the group is a middle-aged lady dressed in a zar as if to go out or having just returned home, her dušeme hanging loose. She holds a paper bag. To her right, in the open door, stand two young girls in dimije and mahrama. Behind them a young boy in a fes is holding the door. To the lady’s left is a young couple: the man in a suit and fes is leaning against the wall, the woman in dimije, a European-style jacket and with a headscarf knotted at her neck, holds his arm. In the right corner of the picture, a young man is holding a bicycle, dressed in a dark jacket and light-coloured pants. |
