Photograph
Mock Hanging

Studio portrait in front of a painted backdrop of two men and two women in a dramatic pose. The woman in the center has her head in a noose and is sticking out her tongue as she clenches her fists. A man on the left is pulling on the rope as if to hang the woman. On the right side, another man is reading from a book and wearing a heavy carpet as a robe. A woman is kneeling on the floor wiping her eyes with a cloth. |
