Subject matter
In this full-length portrait, a young woman named Jan stands on a wooden deck by the sea. She stands on the threshold of a small opened gate, which leads downwards to the beach in the distance. She meets the camera's gaze directly, striking a confident pose. Her arms rest firmly on the fence, while her lower body twists slightly in a comfortable contrapposto.
