Girl with gold earring

She and her friend were lugging shopping up the steep steps of Morningside Park. They were on their way to one of the scores of picnics that crowd the park on summer evenings. I think they were happy to have an excuse to stop and put down their bags. Just as I had arranged my subjects and set the camera, two of their friends, young men, started to clown around behind me and make the girls giggle. I was saved by a mother or aunt ordering the young men to leave us alone and to carry the bags the rest of the way to the picnic site.

  1. Very reminiscent of your Newburgh 'Nurse Temptress'. Younger certainly, though she has a similar sultry gaze and casual pose.

  2. I noticed the similar clothes, jewelry and beauty.
