The photograph titled “Nina Szarkowski” was taken by the artist Lee Friedlander.
The black and white photograph depicts a young individual, likely a woman or a girl, presumable Nina Szarkowski, viewed from the side. The subject’s face is turned slightly away from the camera, gazing into the distance with her profile fully in view. Her hair is medium length, slightly tousled by the wind. The setting appears to be a grassy outdoor area with trees, including a prominent evergreen, in the background. The photograph has a naturalistic feel, with a focus on the subject and the natural environment rather than urban elements one might associate with New York City. There are no discernible buildings or cityscape features to suggest an urban environment, so the New York City location might refer to the broader region rather than the immediate setting captured in the image.
