White was one of the most important protagonists of American Pictorialism, a founding member of the Photo-Secession and a friend of Alfred Stieglitz. His early work was created in Newark in Ohio, where he worked as a bookkeeper in a grocery shop. Here he devoted himself to the everyday culture of small-town life, as in the present picture, which shows three girls playing a game of ring toss. It is one of his most successful motifs and copies in various techniques can be found in renowned collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York or the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

White zählt zu den bedeutendsten Protagonisten des amerikanischen Piktorialismus, war ein Gründungsmitglied der Photo-Secession und mit Alfred Stieglitz befreundet. Sein Frühwerk entstand in Newark in Ohio, wo er als Buchhalter in einem Lebensmittelladen arbeitete. Hier widmete er sich der Alltagskultur des Kleinstadtlebens, wie auch in der vorliegenden Aufnahme, die drei Mädchen bei einem Ringwurfspiel zeigt. Es ist eines seiner gelungensten Motive und Exemplare in unterschiedlichen Printtechniken befinden sich in namhaften Sammlungen, wie etwa dem Metropolitan Museum in New York oder im Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
