A boy stands in profile in tall summer grass, raising a pair of binoculars to his eyes and looking out to the left. He wears a flat cap, a knitted sweater and dungarees with a strap over the shoulder. The grass reaches to his waist and fills the foreground and middle distance, with a single tree and a low line of foliage behind at the left and open sky above. The view is taken close and at the boy’s height. Contrast is moderate; the figure holds the darkest tones against the pale grass and sky, which carry the light softly. The boy is Per, the photographer’s son.

Technical Details: Likely a gelatin silver print, soft in handling. No object inscription is recorded.
