About this work

This photo shows a woman in a blue robe with a red cloak holding her hands together. A baby lies wrapped in cloth at her feet, while two young girls stand on either side—one holding a mirror, the other a small object. The background has a soft, distant landscape with hills and trees. The woman’s face has a golden ring around her head, and the lighting makes her stand out against the softer background. The colors are simple but warm, with the red and blue robes drawing your eye. This photo is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
