Ivy in the Boston Garden: back, Boston
1973

A black and white photograph capturing a woman from behind as she walks down a curved pathway in a park-like setting. She is dressed in a mid-length skirt, coat, and a beret, and is carrying a bag on her right shoulder. Her left hand appears to be holding something close to her chest. The focus is soft, adding a dreamy quality to the scene, and the background is blurred with indistinct trees and possibly buildings in the distance.
