Description

A canvas tent with its flap open stands on stony ground at Vouni. A man stands in the dark doorway, while two women are outside: one in a dotted dress with a pale hat, seen from behind, and one in light clothes and a pith helmet facing the camera. Three weathered pale stone sculptures stand around them, with bushes and trees behind.

English, translated from the Swedish record

A man stands inside the tent, probably Einar Gjerstad. Outside the tent stand two women: the woman in the dotted dress has her back to the camera but is probably Gudrun Atterman. The woman in light clothes may be Vivi Gjerstad. Three sculptures also stand outside the tent. Bushes and trees can be seen all around.

Swedish, as on the record

En man står inne i tältet, antagligen Einar Gjerstad. Utanför tältet står två kvinnor, kvinnan med prickig klänning har ryggen mot kameran men är antagligen Gudrun Atterman. Kvinnan i ljusa kläder kan vara Vivi Gjerstad. Utanför tältet står även tre skulpturer. Buskar och träd syns runtom.
