Description: 
The photograph was taken outdoors and shows five people sitting on rocks, in a mountainous, rocky landscape with big trees. Most probably the group has been photographed during an excursion. The woman on the left (Verkine Djevarhirdjian-Utidjian) is wearing a white, long-sleeved blouse and an ankle-length skirt. She is also wearing a dark-coloured brimmed hat, which she has secured on her head with a white headscarf. Sitting next to her is her daughter, Nevart Utidjian, who is wearing a similar long skirt with a long-sleeved blouse, decorated with a lace collar and a dark-coloured ribbon or tie? Her hat is decorated with flowers. The younger man, Artin Arslanian, is wearing a western-style suit with a white long-sleeved shirt and a tie. The older man sitting next to him is Apisoghom Utidjian, who is dressed in a white suit. Both men are wearing dark shoes and is holding hats in their hands. The unknown woman sitting at the back seems to be wearing a rather casual, everyday dress with a shawl around her shoulders; she does not have a hat. She might have been a servant sitting behind the two couples. This was taken in the late 1910s or early 1920s.
