The photograph titled “Red Head, Cape Cod” was taken by the artist Joel Meyerowitz in the year 1981. In the image, there is a person with striking red hair. The individual appears to be damp, as if they have just been swimming or are caught in a light rain, with droplets on their skin and the hair sticking to their forehead and cheeks. Their hair falls freely around their face and shoulders. This person is draped in a towel, or possibly a thin blanket, that they hold with one hand, suggesting the photograph might have been captured right after a dip in the water. The attire is relaxed, which is consistent with the casual, natural setting of Cape Cod. The background is a blur of greenery, indicating an outdoor, possibly wooded area. The individual’s expression is pensive and intense, staring directly at the camera with a mix of openness and contemplation. The sunlight highlights the texture and colors of their hair, giving a warm, vivid quality to the photograph.
