I think this photography is really pretty; not a photo expert but as a regular viewer, it is very captivating and beautiful

 

What texture!

The stables themselves would be extremely intriguing as a photograph: the worn paint, the rough wood... but then with the gauze and the light and the figures and the depth of field... exceptional.

The gauze reminds one of the photographs I've seen of mediums (from the same period) producing "ectoplasm". Maybe because the mediums used gauze as a prop as well.
