This black-and-white photo shows a woman sitting in a chair, dressed in a dark, high-necked blouse with lace trim. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small object in one hand while resting the other on her lap. The background is plain, with a dark curtain or wall behind her. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, with a grainy, slightly faded quality. Her expression is calm but serious, and the lighting is soft, focusing on her face. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more photos like this.
