About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a woman holding a child. She’s dressed in a long, patterned robe with a headscarf, sitting on a rock. Behind her, two people stand in the shadows, one holding a staff. The woman’s face looks calm, but her hands grip the child tightly. The lighting makes her stand out against the dark background.
