This black-and-white photo shows a person sitting quietly, sewing by hand. They’re dressed in a simple, high-necked blouse with long sleeves, and their hair is pulled back neatly. The room around them is plain, with a dark curtain or wall behind them and a hint of a window on the right. The photo looks soft and slightly blurred, like it was taken a long time ago. The focus is on the person’s hands and the fabric, making the sewing the main point. This photo is part of the Museum of Ethnography collection.
