Judging by the large iron hinge above her left shoulder I`d say she was in the back yard standing near the backyard gate.Viktoria.

It look like she standing in front of a stable door and she's holding the bridle of a horse.

I think there is what looks like an old mangle behind her.  ???

No mangle just a back garden gate.

I've had a quick go but this isn't a very good scan to work with.  We might get a slightly better result if you rescanned the pic at 300 ppi.

Kind regards
