Georg Oddner was with the first group of tourists who visited the USSR after the war. He shot numerous photographs. In Jan Troell's biopic, “Närvärende”, Oddner talks intensely about this photograph, som han mener har en særlig integritet og intensitet: “Det er bare et blik ind i myldret. Men det har sådan en fin afsluttethed om sig. Det er hele hendes verden.”

Provenance: The Danish artist Hugo Arne Buch, who was a close friend of Georg Oddner.
