About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a scene with six figures. A shirtless man sits in the center, holding a bow, while a woman in a long dress stands beside him. Around them, three other women and a small child pose in flowing robes. The background is dark, with a few scattered objects like a box and a scroll on the ground. The man’s relaxed pose and the women’s calm expressions create a quiet moment. The lighting focuses on their faces, making them stand out against the shadowy backdrop. This photo is part of the Museum of Ethnography collection.
