A photograph in the corner of the house showed a little girl wearing two blue bows. I asked Wiljo, the woman I helped maintain the house, about it. It was her, she told me, sixty years ago. 
Wiljo was 75 years old. She remembered the bows and described herself as beautiful in them. Knowing that I am a photographer, we decided to recreate the portrait.
