Sorry to break it to you guys, but…..
These aren’t witches in the entire sense, more celebrating the unadorned form of the female in line with all things natural. Mesmerizing, of course!  They are, I’m sure, dancers with Isadora Duncan. Im positive we have a very almost identical  family album image (copy from Genthe) bc one of them is my grandmother Rose!  She danced with Duncan, most notably on the beach in those well known photos of Duncan. I have lovely photos of Rose dancing on that day, too. They still do look bewitching day OR night! I’m still in awe that in the turn of the century nudity as moving art was beautifully timeless, so much more than now. I have diaphanous photos of Rose that silk only highlights her moonlit skin, and this, I’m told, hung in Madison Square Garden for some time. Why, I don’t know. This image shows the mystery of women, so many untold spirits in the wind, so many lives conjured up in our memories!
