Moonlit Gathering of Women in Misty Field, 1905, Pictorialist Style

A soft-focus, pictorialist photograph in the style of Edward Steichen or Gertrude Käsebier, circa 1905. A coven of women in long, dark robes moves like ghosts through a misty, moonlit field. They are gathering plants, their movements slow and ceremonial. The atmosphere is ethereal and dreamlike, but with a deeply unsettling undercurrent. The moonlight filters through the fog, creating halos around their indistinct forms. The image is painterly, with a rich, velvety black tonality and a shallow depth of field. Tonalism, symbolism, hauntingly beautiful.
