Peter Henry Emerson
Colts on a Norfolk Marsh
1883
Young horses graze in the Norfolk wetlands, their forms softly rendered through Emerson's characteristic naturalistic focus. The scene exemplifies his philosophy that photography should present subjects as they appear to the human eye, with varying degrees of sharpness.
