Marianne Courville

Untitled (First Communion)
1971, printed 1997

A vintage, overexposed photograph capturing the lower half of three individuals, presumably women, walking side by side. The person on the left is wearing a brown skirt suit and white shoes, holding papers. The middle person is in a white dress with a flared skirt and white knee-high socks with white shoes, also holding papers. The person on the right is dressed in a red coat with a matching skirt, black shoes, and carrying a red handbag. The focus is on their attire and the way they are walking, with the background indistinct.
