About this work

This photo shows an older woman sitting on a rocky hillside. She’s wrapped in a thick brown coat and a blue headscarf, holding her hands together. The ground around her is dry grass and small plants, with a winding path of dirt and stones leading downhill. In the distance, the land flattens into open fields under a pale sky. Her worn clothes and quiet pose suggest a life of hard work. The lighting is soft, making her face and the landscape look gentle but real. This photo is at the Museum of Ethnography.
