About this work

Overview

Created around 1909, “In the Street” is an image attributed to the artist known as 1107_person. The work is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography, where it is displayed as an example of early twentieth‑century figurative composition.

Subject & Meaning

The composition presents a woman from the waist upward, dressed in a loose white garment with a high neckline and short sleeves. Her head is turned toward the right, and her facial features are rendered indistinct, suggesting a moment of introspection or quiet thought within an urban setting.

Technique & Style

The artist employs a stark contrast between the luminous white dress and a dark, undefined background, creating a chiaroscuro effect that emphasizes the figure’s silhouette. Subtle vertical marks in the backdrop hint at a street environment, while the blurred facial details focus attention on mood rather than precise likeness.

History & Provenance

The piece dates to approximately 1909 and has remained in the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings since its acquisition. No further changes of ownership are recorded, and the work has been referenced in the museum’s catalogues as a representative example of the artist’s early period.
