The Niece and the Cat

This charming black-and-white print, acquired at the Watsons Bay Market in Sydney, holds a nostalgic glimpse of a family’s holiday in the south of France.

The composition beautifully highlights the simplicity and warmth of the moment, blending the innocence of childhood with the rustic charm of the old French setting. The timeless quality of the photograph, combined with its personal story, evokes a sense of quiet joy and connection to a treasured family memory.
